Performance of Ram Air Driven Power Supply for Proposed High Altitude Rocket in Naval Surface Weapons Center Supersonic Wind Tunnel

Abstract

A ram air driven power supply for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) air vehicle was tested with a fuze in the Naval Surface Weapons Center Supersonic Wind tunnel Facility. The power supply operated the fuze over the apex of a probable flight trajectory where the generator's inlet ram air energy input is small. A method has been devised to relate laboratory, wind tunnel, and field test data so that expected voltages in flight or in the wind tunnel can be obtained from laboratory measurements.
