Wind Tunnel Tests of a Maneuvering Air to Surface Submunition (MASS).

Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were conducted on 0.2 scale Maneuvering Air to Surface Submunition (MASS) at Mach numbers of 0.31, 0.77, 0.91 and 0.97. The same model was tested in tunnel 1T at the Arnold Engineering Development Center and comparisons were made between the resulting coefficients. Results of the comparison indicate that the data from both wind tunnels are in close agreement. Additional tests were conducted at the USAFA to investigate the static stability of this configuration. Unstable regions were detected in yaw and roll.
