Project "Wizard"
Abstract
Various design problems are analyzed for ground-to-air missile capable of intercepting and destroying aircraft operating at altitudes up to 500,000 ft and at speeds up to 4000 mph. Supersonic wind tunnel for aerodynamic tests is nearing completion. The command guidance system is in the design stage, while other guidance problems are still in experimental stage. General survey of launching methods was conducted. Ramjet and turbojet engines, as well as rocket engines, have been considered as means of propulsion.
