Aerodynamic Characteristics of Ogive Oversize-Head Cylinders Stabilized by Tail-Mounted,Multiple Fins or Ring Wings at Supersonic Mach Numbers.

摘要

Test data are reported for two ring-wing and two multiple-fin stabilizers mounted on the tail of a cylinder combined with ogive oversize heads of 1.38caliber diameter and varying lengths. Wind tunnel tests were run at five (5) Mach numbers from 1.75to 3.5and the resulting aerodynamic coefficients are plotted versus angle of attack and Mach number. The results are discussed regarding their effects on the longitudinal stability for the various configurations. (Author)
