Static Stability and Control Effectiveness of the MK-84 Modular Guided Glide Bomb II at Transonic Mach Numbers

Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were conducted to determine the static stability and control effectiveness of the MK-84 Modular Guided Glide Bomb II (MGGB II). A 0.20-scale model of the MK-84 MGGB II was tested at Mach numbers from 0.5 to 1.3 at angles of attack from -12 to 8 deg and sideslip angles from -6 to 14 deg. Aerodynamic coefficients are presented to show the longitudinal, directional, and lateral static stability and control characteristics of the MK-84 MGGB II configuration.
