Comparison of Drop and Wind-Tunnel Experiments on Bomb Drag at High Subsonic Speeds

Abstract

The drag coefficients of bombs at high velocities (the highest velocity of fall was 97 percent of the speed of sound) are determined by drop tests and compared with measurements taken in the DVL high-speed closed wind tunnel and the open jet at AVA - Gottingen.
