Increasing body major-to-minor axis ratio, with the major axis horizontal, resulted in large increases in the lift, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients and lift-drag ratios at positive angles of attack and at all test Mach numbers. The successive increases in major-to-minor axis ratio, with the major axis horizontal resulted in gains in lift-curve slope for bodies of the same fineness ratio when the coefficients were based on the respective body projected plan-form areas;generally, only slight changes in the minimum-drag characteristics of the bodies were noted.nA rearward shift in the body center-of-pressure location is generally indicated when the horizontal-to-vertical axis ratio is increased from 0-50 to 2.00. Little or no effects of increasing Mach number on the center-of-pressure location of a given body were shown.
