Shock-Wave Yaw for 9.5 deg Semi-Apex Cone

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0032076 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The semi-apex angle of the shock-wave and the ratio of the shock-wave to the yaw of a projectile for small yaw is theoretically predicted by A. H. Stone. Experimental verification of the theory was obtained from cones and cone cylinders fired in the Free Flight Aerodynamics Range.
