Transonic Flight Test of a Rocket-Powered Model to Determine Propulsive Jet Influence on the Configuration Drag
Description:
Report presenting testing of a rocket-powered cone-cylinder body with a conical boattail to determine the jet interference effects on drag at transonic Mach numbers. If the nozzle was overexpanded, it increased boattail pressure drag at transonic Mach numbers, but an underexpanded nozzle affected boattail drag at 1.59, followed by a drag reduction.
