An investigation has been conducted in the Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel at Mach numbers from 1.50 to 4.63 to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a maneuverable missile having in-line cruciform wings and canard surfaces oriented in 45° roll planes.
The investigation was conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel. The missiles had cruciform wings and canard surfaces of delta planform with 70 degrees swept leading edges. Five models were tested with fineness ratios varying from 19.1 to 14.8. The tests covered an angle-of-attack range up to about 28 degrees for the complete configuration and various combinations of component parts. (Author).
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.
