Investigation of Rocket Based Combined Cycle Design Modifications to Improve Cmo and Cma at Subsonic Speeds

Abstract

This investigation tested various design modifications to the Rocket Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) to achieve a less negative pitching moment coefficient at an angle of attack of zero degrees (cm) thereby allowing the RBCC to trim at a lower angle of attack.
