INVESTIGATION OF THE STATIC LONGITUDINAL STABILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF A 0.067-SCALE MODEL OF A FOUR-STAGE CONFIGURATION OF THE SCOUT RESEARCH VEHICLE AT MACH NUMBERS OF 2.29, 2.96, 3.96, AND 4.65

摘要

An investigation was made in the Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel to determine the effect of fin area and second-stage flare angle on the static longitudinal stability of a 0.067-scale model of a four-stage Scout research vehicle. The tests were performed at Mach numbers of 2.29, 2.96, 3.96, and 4.65 at Reynolds numbers of about 4.6 x 106 per foot. The effect of Reynolds number was investigated by conducting additional tests at Mach numbers of 2.29 and 3.96 at Reynolds numbers of 5.64 x 106 and 6.49 X 106 per foot, respectively.
