Download or read book Normal Force, Center of Pressure, and Zero-lift Drag of Several Ballistic-type Missiles at Mach Numbers of 4.05 written by Edward F. Ulmann and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests were conducted at Mach number 4.05 to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of several missile models having turbulent boundary layers and to compare these results with available method of predicting the aerodynamic characteristics. (The condition of the boundary layer was determined by the china-clay-lacquer boundary-layer-visualization technique.) Normal force and pitching moment were measured through an angle-of-attack range of 0 to between 4 and 8 degrees, depending upon balance limitations, and at roll angles of 0 and 45 degrees; drag was measured only at 0 degrees angle of attack.
