Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of a Series of Ringtail - Body Combinations at Mach Numbers of 0.8-4.5

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0871756 | Open PDF

Abstract:

An analysis is made of experimentally determined stability characteristics of a series of ringtails in combination with bodies of revolution. Results of the analysis show ringtails to be efficient stabilizing devices, when missile overall diameter is limited.
