Abstract:

Dynamic stability data in the form of damping force and moment coefficients were obtained in the NOL Supersonic Tunnel No. 1. These measurements were made in the Mach number range 1.58 through 3.24. Static stability data in the form of normal force and pitching moment coefficients were determined In the Mach number range 1.58 through 3.86. Both dynamic and static stability coefficients are compared with free flight results obtained in the NOL and BRL ballistics firing ranges.
