Missile Aerodynamics
Abstract
One purpose of this chapter is to point out some of the differences between airplanes and missiles by virtue of which missile aerodynamics embraces subjects not formerly of great interest in airplane aerodynamics. Another purpose is to collect in one place for ready reference many of the symbols, definitions, and conventions used throughout the book. Contents: Some Formulas Commonly Used in Missile Aerodynamics; Slender-Body Theory at Supersonic and Subsonic Speeds; Aerodynamics of Bodies; Vortices; Wing-Body Interference; Downwash, Sidewash, and the Wake; Wing-Tail Interference; Aerodynamic Controls; Drag; and Stability Derivatives.
