Blunted slender bodies at angles of yaw have been a major problem for aerospace engineers and scientists for several years. The author has proposed a method whereby the well known similarity solution. I e, blast wave theory, may be used with modifications to predict experimental data to a high degree of accuracy. The yawed body is examined and the shock surface located on a hemisphere cylinder combination. Further methods are proposed for evaluation of prolate spheroid-cylinder and blunted cone configurations.
