DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The longitudinal static stability characteristics of three one-fifth scale models of the second stage of a sounding rocket were calculated and compared with the measured values at Mach numbers of 1.79 to 3.47. All three models had fins of trapezoidal planform with sweptback leading and trailing edges, small aspect ratio, and thick wedge sections, but differed in fin area and overall model length. Calculation of center of pressure and normal-force coefficient slope at zero normal force were in good agreement with experimental data.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This report summarizes the studies made to date by the Army Missile Command on the effects of the rocket jet plume on the Stability characteristics of a body of revolution with various fin configurations and at various fin positions on the body. The Mach numbers ranged from 0.2 to 2.3. A normal jet plume simulator was used to obtain the desired plume effects. This report concerns itself with those tests conducted on a 5-in. diameter, 52-in. long model, with a 3 caliber tangent ogive nose.
