Algorithm for Estimating Aerodynamic Static Moments of Long Rod Penetrators at 2 Less than M Less than 5

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA086095 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Estimation of the aerodynamic normal force and static moment of a given class of flight vehicles is demonstrated with reference to AMCP 706-280, which in turn derives from the classic British work Wings. By means of linearized algebraic reduction, a transmutation permits the designer to quickly evaluate the effects of variation on the flight system.
