Evaluation of Some Aerodynamic Controls for a Low Aspect Ratio Missile

"Results of a static stability controls investigation carried out with a very low-aspect-ratio delta-winged missile are presented. Control effectiveness comparisons are made for tail, canard, and nose control configurations with respect to angle of attack, angle of bank, and Mach number. Trim capabilities of the various configurations are also presented" (p. 1).

Heat-Transfer Measurements on a Concave Hemispherical Nose Shape With Unsteady-Flow Effects at Mach Numbers of 1.98 and 4.95 (open access)

Heat-Transfer Measurements on a Concave Hemispherical Nose Shape With Unsteady-Flow Effects at Mach Numbers of 1.98 and 4.95

Memorandum presenting heat-transfer rates and pressure fluctuations at Mach numbers of 1.98 and 4.95 measured at the stagnation point of a concave hemisphere for a range of Reynolds numbers based on free-stream conditions and model diameter. Results regarding heat-transfer characteristics, heat-transfer data, and schileren photographs and stagnation point pressure measurements are provided.

Simulator Investigation of Command Reaction Controls (open access)

Simulator Investigation of Command Reaction Controls

Memorandum presenting an investigation of reaction controls that command velocity and attitude that compares them to the controls that command acceleration. Proportional acceleration reaction controls were found to be satisfactory over a much wide range of control effectiveness than were the on-off acceleration controls. The velocity and attitude controls were found to be superior to either of the acceleration controls.
