This book was released on 1977 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a wind tunnel test, simulating rocket motor exhaust jet effects on missile aerodynamic at Mach numbers of 0.7 to 1.4 are presented. A normal jet plume simulator was used to induce afterbody boundary layer separation. Flow visualization techniques including both shadowgraph and oil flow photographs were taken. The primary emphasis for this report is the force and moment measurements taken on twelve configurations including: five tail fin configurations; body alone; three forward fin configurations; body flare combination; and two combinations of forward fins/strakes with tail fins. All force and moment coefficients are presented in plotted form. One configuration is shown with ground plane interference simulation. (Author).
