Abstract:
Analysis of the aerodynamics and jet reaction control of a 5-inch 54 caliber gun-launched missile GLM was conducted. Aerodynamic analysis included estimation of list and drag coefficients, lift-to-drag ratio, and center of pressure location by calculation for several versions of the missile at Mach numbers between Mach 2.0 and 3.0. Analysis included emphasis on compatibility with existing 5-inch 54 caliber Mk 45 gun system. Jet reaction control system investigation included calculation of the side force required to trim the missile for a 30-g maneuver at Mach 3.0.
