Aerodynamics Range: A National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark

摘要

On the evening of 21 October 1982, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) designated the Aerodynamics Range at the Ballistic Research Laboratory as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The award recognizes the facility as the world's first large-scale, fully instrumented ballistic range capable of producing data on the aerodynamic characteristics of missiles in free flight. This publication describes the Range and examines the associated contributions made to technology.
