Abstract:

Tests were conducted at Mach numbers from 0.2 to 0.8 and 1.5 to 2.5 to determine the effects of fineness ratio and angles of attack up to 90 degrees on the static longitudinal stability and axial force of a flat-faced cylinder. Tabulated and plotted data for the entire test matrix are presented.
