The Effects on the Center of Pressure and the Static Margin of a TDU-34/A Target Vehicle of Six Different Nose Cone Afterbody Combinations.

Abstract

Calculations were made to determine the effects on the aerodynamics of six different nose cone afterbody combinations. The highest static stability margin is provided by a short nose cone on the basic 'x' fin body without the boat tail afterbody. (Author)
