Book Description

This summary document was prepared in order to facilitate dissemination of a large amount of missile aerodynamic data which has recently been declassified. Only summary data are presented in this report, but a list of reference documents provides sources of detailed data. Most of the configurations considered are suitable for highly maneuverable air-to-air or surface to air missiles; however, data for a few air-to-surface, cruise missile, and one projectile configuration are also presented. The Mach number range of the data is from about 0.2 to 4.63; however, data for most configurations cover only a portion of this range. The following aerodynamic characteristics at various Mach numbers and zero angle of attack are presented.
