Measurement of Static Forces on Externally Carried Bombs of Fineness Ratios 7.1 and 10.5 in the Flow Field of a Swept-Wing Fighter- Bomber Configuration at a Mach Number of 1.6

Description: Memorandum presenting forces and moments measured at Mach number 1.6 in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel on bombs of fineness ratios 7.0 and 10.5 in the presence of a swept-wing fighter-bomber airplane configuration for a large number of positions under the fuselage. The results can be used to calculate bomb-drop paths.

Supersonic Free-Flight Measurement of Heat Transfer and Transition on a 10 Degree Cone Having a Low Temperature Ratio

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the heat-transfer coefficients (Stanton number and boundary-layer transition) obtained from a free-flight test of a 10 degree total-angle cone with a 1/16-inch tip radius. Testing occurred over a range of Mach numbers from 1.8 to 3.5 and a range of wall-to-local-stream temperature ratios. Results regarding skin temperatures, heat-transfer coefficient, and boundary-layer transition are presented.
