Effect of wing flexibility on the damping roll of a notched delta-wing body combination between Mach numbers 0.6 and approximately 2.2 as determined with rocket-propelled models

Report presenting an investigation with sting-mounted rocket-propelled models in free flight at approximately zero lift to determine the effect of wing flexibility on the damping-in-roll characteristics of a wing-body combination over a range of Mach numbers.

Transonic Flight Test of a Rocket-Powered Model to Determine Propulsive Jet Influence on the Configuration Drag (open access)

Transonic Flight Test of a Rocket-Powered Model to Determine Propulsive Jet Influence on the Configuration Drag

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.
