Force and Moment Characteristics of a Matrix of Ogive-Cylinder Configurations at Mach Numbers from 1.5 to 4.0
Abstract
Tests were conducted to determine the static stability and axial- force characteristics of several families of ogive-cylinder configurations over a Mach number range from 1.5 to 4.5. Model combinations of twenty noses and four afterbodies were tested at Mach numbers 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 at a primary test Reynolds number, based on model diameter, of 0.18 million. Configuration variables were nose bluntness and caliber and afterbody caliber. The angle-of-attack range was from -6 to 14 deg.
