EFFECTS OF NOSE SHAPE AND BOATTAIL ANGLE OF STATIC AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A 105 MM SHELL AT MACH 4.0, 4.5, AND 5.0

This report presents the results of wind tunnel tests of 16 proposed hypervelocity 105 mm projectile configurations. The tests were conducted during September 1962 on a 48% scale model at Mach numbers of 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 in the Ballistic Research Laboratories Tunnel No. 1. Results are presented as...

Zusammenfassung:This report presents the results of wind tunnel tests of 16 proposed hypervelocity 105 mm projectile configurations. The tests were conducted during September 1962 on a 48% scale model at Mach numbers of 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 in the Ballistic Research Laboratories Tunnel No. 1. Results are presented as plotted data. All the configurations can be made gyroscopically stable; presently available data indicates that they are also dynamically stable. (Author)
