Experimental Roll-Damping, Magnus, and Static-Stability Characteristics of Two Slender Missile Configurations at High Angles of Attack (0 to 90 deg) and Mach Numbers 0.2 through 2.5

Abstract

An experimental investigation was conducted to verify that the recently developed high-alpha missile roll-damping test mechanism could be used to obtain the roll-damping characteristics of slender missile configurations and to obtain roll-damping, Magnus, static-stability, and axial-force characteristics of a typical missile configuration. The verification tests were conducted with the Basic Finner Model at M = 0.22 and 2.50. Additional test results were obtained with a Modified Basic Finner Model for Mach number 0.6 through 2.5.
