Average Skin-Friction Coefficients From Boundary-Layer Measurements in Flight on a Parabolic Body of Revolution (NACA RM-10) at Supersonic Speeds and at Large Reynolds Numbers
Description:
Report presenting boundary-layer measurements on rocket-powered free-flight models to determine average skin-friction coefficients. The test body, NACA RM-10, was a fin-stabilized parabolic body of revolution of fineness ratio 12.2 with a blunt base to provide space for a rocket jet. Results regarding the skin-friction and boundary-layer profiles and experimental and theoretical curves are provided.
