Abstract:
During the development and exploitation of the BRL Non-Conical Boattail Projectile, it became evident that a new projectile shape which combines a triangular nose with a triangular boattail would have low drag and a long wheel base for low balloting in the gun barrel. No aerodynamic data were available on the configuration nicknamed the corkscrew at the beginning of this program, so it was deemed advisable to conduct wind tunnel and range tests to determine its drag and stability characteristics.
