Static Stability and Drag Characteristics of the All-Altitude Spin-Projected Munition (ASP) at Mach Numbers from 0.50 to 1.20

Abstract

Force and moment data were obtained with a 0.25-scale model of the All-Altitude Spin-Projected Munition at Mach numbers from 0.50 to 1.20 to determine the effects of fins and fins with tip plates on the static stability and drag of the ASP munition. Five configurations, comprised of three different tip plates on the fins, the fins alone, and the body without fins, were tested.
