Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effect of Spin on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 60-Millimeter T-24 Mortar Shell With Several Tail-Fin Configurations
Description:
Report discussing an investigation to determine the effect of spin on the aerodynamic characteristics of the Army Ordnance Corps 60-millimeter T-24 mortar shell with several tail-fin configurations. Tests were performed at several airspeeds, speeds of rotation, and angles of attack. Under all test conditions, the models were statistically stable and the yawing moment increased with speed of rotation at higher angles of attack.
