Axial and normal force coefficients for pointed bodies of revolution at super- and hypersonic speeds—Part I

Noses and cylinders

J. H. Huth

ResearchPublished 1952

Drag and lift data are presented for a selected group of ogival noses with cylindrical afterbodies in a Mach number range extending from approximately 1.5 to infinity. Comparisons are also made with the inscribed cones at corresponding Mach numbers. This study serves as an aid to the aerodynamicist in optimizing missile design.
