Effects of twist and camber, fences, and horizontal-tail height on the low-speed longitudinal stability characteristics of a wing-fuselage combination with a 45 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 8 at a Reynolds number of 4.0 x 10(exp 6)

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the separate and combined effects of twist and camber, fences, and horizontal-tail height on the static longitudinal stability of a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination of aspect ratio 8 at Mach number 0.19. Two different wings were investigated, one untwisted and one with twist and cambered. Results regarding wing-fuselage configuration and wing-fuselage configurations with horizontal tail are provided.

Preliminary free-flight investigation of the zero-lift drag penalties of several missile nose shapes for infrared seeking devices

Description: The results of a preliminary investigation to develop a nose shape suitable for housing an infrared seeker are presented. The zero-lift drag characteristics of a missile-like body with various unconventional nose shapes were obtained through a range of Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.8 and Reynolds numbers, based on body length, from 20 x10 to the 6th power to 70 x 10 to the 6th power, respectively, by using rocket-propelled free-flight models. Results of the test indicate that at supersonic speeds … more
