Abstract:
Normal force and pitching moment have been measured on a number of cone cylinder combinations at a Mach number of 3.98 in the 3 ft x 4 ft High Supersonic Speed Tunnel. The results are presented graphically. Comparison is made with theoretical predictions for the same quantities at small incidence based on second order generalized shock expansion theory, and with semi-empirical estimates based on the Data Sheets of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
