Calibration of Angle-of-Attack and Dynamic Pressure Sensors on the Modular-Guided Glide Bomb at Transonic Mach Numbers

Abstract

A wind tunnel test was conducted at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 0.90 in the Propulsion Wind Tunnel Transonic (16T) to provide a calibration of angle-of- attack and dynamic pressure sensors mounted on a full-scale Modular-Guided Glide Bomb (MGGB) with the glide bomb tail section removed and the wing span shortened.
