Heat-Transfer and Pressure Measurements From a Flight Test of the Second 1/18-Scale Model of the Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Up to a Mach Number of 3.91 and Reynolds Number Per Foot of 23.4 by 10 to the 6th Power
Report discussing heat-transfer and pressure measurements obtained from flight testing of a model of the Titan intercontinental ballistic missile up to a specified Mach and Reynolds number. The heat-transfer coefficients were compared to theoretical results and a discrepancy was found during the accelerating portions of flight. Drag coefficients were obtained for a range of Mach numbers.
Heat-Transfer and Pressure Measurements From a Flight Test of the Second 1/18-Scale Model on the Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Up to a Mach Number of 3.91 and Reynolds Number Per Foot of 23.4 X 10(Exp 6) : Coord. No. AF-AM-70
Report presenting heat-transfer and pressure measurements obtained from flight tests of a model of the Titan intercontinental ballistic missile. Turbulent flow was observed over the model throughout the flight with the exception of one station on the nose. Results regarding pressure measurements, heat transfer, and drag measurements are required.
Some Notes on the Probable Damage to an Intercontinental-Ballistic-Missile Warhead Following Puncture of the Heat Shield
Report discussing a study of the effects of puncturing the heat shield of an intercontinental-ballistic-missile warhead by small projectiles. Calculations were created for both rod and sphere projectiles and experimental testing was performed on a missile model with holes drilled in the heat shield. The possibility that a projectile could have enough energy to cause mechanical damage to the interior of the warhead is also presented.
