Missile DATCOM. Volume 1

Abstract

Development of a Missile DATCOM handbook and computer program is described. The type of methods investigated as well as a method selection rationale is discussed. Methods were selected for predicting the aerodynamics of missile configurations made up of circular, elliptic or arbitrary bodies with or without fins an inlets. These methods predict static and dynamic stability derivatives and are suitable for preliminary design. A summary of the comparisons of many results with experimental data is included. Keywords: Computer aided design, DATCOM computer program, FORTRAN, Subsonic, Transonic, Supersonic, Hypersonic.
