A Study of Various Slender and Non-Slender Fin-Body Combinations of Missile Configurations.

Abstract

The aerodynamic loading on a number of rocket body-control surface combinations has been calculated using methods developed at the University of Tennessee Space Institute over the past five years. Variations in control surface planform, roll angle, control surface deflection or incorporation of elevons, are included. Compressibility is accounted for. Details of the digital computer program are included.
