The aerodynamic characteristics of projectiles with triangular and circular cross sections are investigated respectively by use of free-flight experiment.Processed the experiment data,curves of flight velocity variation and nutation of both projectiles are obtained,based on the curves,their aerodynamic force and moment coefficients are found out by data fitting,and their aerodynamic performances are compared and analyzed.Results show that the projectile with triangular cross section has smaller resistance,higher lift-drag ratio,better static stability,higher stability capability and more excellent maneuverability than those of the projectile with circular cross section,therefore it can be used in the guided projectiles;under lower rotation speed,the triangular section projectile has greater Magnus moment leading to bigger projectile distribution.
