Abstract

Three missile body shapes tested at Mach numbers of 1.50, 2.16, and 2.86 with angles of attack up to 30 degrees are described. The flow characteristics for each body shape are examined. The measured aerodynamic forces and moments are presented. The use of flow visualization techniques are described and the results such as vortex effects are discussed.
