Aerodynamic Methodology. Bodies with Tails at Arbitrary Roll Angle.

Abstract

The construction and use of empirical methods for predicting aerodynamic characteristics of body/tail missile configurations are described. Methods are applicable to the case of combined angle of attack (up to 25 degrees) and roll (up to 90 degrees). Mach number range is 0.8 - 1.2. The methods deal with the separate components of the missile and with their mutual interactions. Comparisons between predicted and experimental data show generally good agreement.
