Static Stability Test of Three Elliptic Missile Body Configurations.

Abstract

A wind tunnel test was conducted to obtain data on the aerodynamic characteristics of three elliptic missile body configurations. The test was performed at nominal Mach numbers from 0.4 to 1.3 at a constant nominal free-stream unit Reynolds number of 2.4 million per ft. The angle-of-attack range was -4 to 20 deg at sideslip angles of 0 and 4 deg. Only sample tabulations of the test results are included in the report.
