AN/SSQ-41A/53 SONODROP: Flocelerator/Decelerator Wind Tunnel Test Results,

摘要

The Naval Air Development Center has conducted an analysis of aerodynamic decelerators for A-size sonobuoys. To obtain pertinent aerodynamic information,particularly drag data on various decelerators and flocelerators needed for mathematical simulation and future design,the Glenn L. Martin Institute of Technology Low Speed Wind Tunnel at the University of Maryland was utilized. This report summarizes the testing effort involved and presents the data for application to the refinement of current A-size sonobuoys.
