Performance of Ram Air Driven Power Supply for Proposed High Altitude Rocket in Naval Surface Weapons Center Supersonic Wind Tunnel

摘要

A ram air driven power supply for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) air vehicle was tested with a fuze in the Naval Surface Weapons Center Supersonic Wind tunnel Facility. The power supply operated the fuze over the apex of a probable flight trajectory where the generator's inlet ram air energy input is small. A method has been devised to relate laboratory, wind tunnel, and field test data so that expected voltages in flight or in the wind tunnel can be obtained from laboratory measurements. (author)
