Pitch and Roll Damping Coefficients of the Australian 81mm Improved Mortar Projectile

Abstract

This report presents roll damping coefficients and pitch damping coefficients obtained from dynamic rolling tests and static wind tunnel tests of the Australian 81mm Improved Mortar Projectile, IMP. An 80% scale model was used in the dynamic roll tests and a full scale model was used in the static wind tunnel tests. Mortar, Roll damping, Pitch damping, Wind tunnel tests
