The Calculation of the Path of a Jettisonable Nose Section

Description: Report presenting a method for calculating the path of a jettisonable nose section at any speed by means of successive approximations using static aerodynamic characteristics. Conditions for consideration, including the effect of stabilizing fins, are included in the calculations.

Summary of the Aerodynamic Characteristics and Flying Qualities Obtained from Flights of Rocket-Propelled Models of an Airplane Configuration Incorporating a Sweptback Inversely Tapered Wing at Transonic and Low-Supersonic Speeds

Description: From Summary: "Flight tests have been conducted on rocket-propelled models of an airplane configuration incorporating a sweptback wing with inverse taper to investigate the drag, stability, and control characteristics at transonic and supersonic speeds. The models were tested with a conventional tail arrangement in the Mach number range from 0.55 to 1.2. In addition to the various aerodynamic parameters obtained, the flying qualities were computed for a full-scale airplane with the center-of-gr… more
