Abstract:

Drag and stability data obtained from hypersonic firings of both pointed and blunt nosed 12-degree 40-minute total-angle cones at several range pressures are tabulated. The drag coefficient of both cones decreased with an increase in the Reynolds number. No effect of Reynolds number on the center of pressure of either cone configuration was observed.
