BODY AND FIN LOADS ON A HIGH-FINENESS-RATIO BODY AND BODY-FIN COMBINATION THROUGH THE MACH RANGE FROM 0.3 TO 1.2 AT ANGLES OF ATTACK UP THROUGH 40 DEGREES
A test on a high-fineness-ratio pressure model was conducted in a transonic wind tunnel. Model configurations of body alone, body and fin, and body and fin with external protuberances were tested to obtain pressures from orifices positioned along the body and on the horizontal fins. Individual orifice pressures were then reduced to load distributions, normal forces, and fin centers of pressure. These are presented, in coefficient form, as graphs. The Mach range from 0.3 to 1.2 was examined in this test; however, not all configurations Angles of attack from 0 to 40 were run on most bodyfin configurations. The body-alone runs were limited to somewhat lower angles of attack by excessive model oscillation in the tunnel. Test Reynolds numbers varied from 0.68 x 10/sup 6/ to 2.07 x 10/sup 6/ per foot. Test dynamic pressures were at 45 to 452 psf. (auth)
