Abstract:

A simple semigraphical method of applying impact theory to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of an arbitrary body at combined angle of attack and sideslip is presented. The necessary equations are derived, a general procedure for application is outlined, and the effects of graphical errors and areas of application are discussed. One of the features of the present method is the requirement of only one graphical construction for any combination of angle of attack and sideslip. As an example application the present method is applied to a blunted elliptical cone in order to obtain the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics at an angle of attack of 40 degrees and an angle of sideslip of 0 degrees.
