SUOIARY
This repozt doecribes the construction and use of methods for pre-
dicting the pitch plane aerodynamic characteristics of a class of missile
configurations. The configurations include body alone, body-tail,
body-strake-tail and body-wing-tail configurations at high angles of
attack. An assessment is also provided of the effects of a rocket exhaust
plume on the pitch plane characteristics for a range of thrustqr conditions.
The methods, semi-empirical in nature, were developed through corre-
lation of test data obtained during several independent test programs.
These data, when taken together, form a rather extensive data bank in
which configuration geometries and flow conditions are systematically
varied. Except for the methods pertaining to winged missile configura-
tions, which are limited to 30 degrees angle of attack, all methods are
applicable to angles of attack between 0 and 180 degrees. In several
instances lack of test data imposed Hach number limitations; however, in
"the majority of cases the methods apply to K:tch numbers between 0.6 and
3.0.
Methods are provided to predict the characteristics of isolated
components and interference effects produced when various components are
combined. The methods pertain to bodies of circular cross-section. When
tails are added, they are mounted in cruciform (plus attitude) with the
tail trailing edges in line with the base of the body and undeflected.
Forward lifting surfaces (strakes or wings) can also be a~ded.
The methods enable the user to estimate the normal force and center
of pressure of a variety of configurations by calculating the character-
istics of individual missile components and their mutual interactions
xxx
-
produced when in combination.* Where possible, predictions have been
compared against data which were not used in the development of models.
In general, these comparisons have demonstrated good agreement.

1.0 INTRODUCTICN
"A recurring problem in missile engineering is the lack of accurate methods
for predicting configuration aerodynamic charaeteristics, for all Mach numbers,
at high angles of attack. The situation is aggravated by the long term trend
toward increased missile maneuverability and angle of attack. Historically,
maximum angle requirements have increased steadily. The greatest increase
has occurred relatively recently to meet advanced air-launched system
- -~ maneuverability requirements. These now dictate angles of attack to 90 and
even 180 degrees.
The missiles which fly at these very high angles are usually of the slewing
.type, i.e., their angle of attack is generated by thrust vector control (TVC)
(for example, AIR SLEW and AGILE). Aerodynamically they tend to be somewhat
simpler than missiles which achieve high maneuverability through use of
aerodynamic surface deflection because of the large control forces available
from the deflected TVC nozzle. Non-TVC missiles usually can deploy wings and
canards as well as tails, and their maximum angles of attack are limited to
about 40 degrees. Air slew missiles usually deploy tails, but any forward
lifting surfaces are generally small (e.g., strakes). Basic aerodynamic
prediction methods are required for both types of vehicles.
The aerodynamic performance of TVC type vehicles is further compli-
cated by plume interference; therefore a method is required for calcu-
lating this effect in addition to methods for estimating the basic aero-
dynamics.
It has been well-established (References 1, 2, 3, and 4) that the best
-
means of constructing methods for estimating basic aerodynamic character-
istics at high angles of attack is through correlation of experimental
data generated by testing over systematically-varied ranges of the relevant
geometric and aerodynaalc parameters (Reference 1). This report describes
the generation of methods using that technique. The methods deal with
the aerodynamics of aerodynamically controlled missiles and TVC missiles
with and without plume effects. A summary of the d-ta u.sed in the develop-
ment of the methods is presented in Reference 5.
The objective of this work was to evaluate existing methods, to
improve upon these existing methods if possible, and, where necessary, to
develop new methods to predict the pitch-plane aerodynamic characteristics
for aerodynamically controlled and TVC missiles. The m%,thods addressed
were applicable to the configurations, angle of attack and Mach number
ranges indicated in Table I.

Prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics for the configurations indicated
in Table I requires methods for predicting the aerodynanmcs of individual
/ components and mutual interference effects. Figures Ia and lb show the
extent of existing capabilities prior to this contract with respect to total
methodology requirements.
Although it Is not shown in Figures la and b, a certain level of
capabilities existed in each of the areas indicated. In general, the accuracy
of these methods is poor at angles greater than a few degrees; therefore,
these methods were not indicated. Under the present work, methodology was
developed to fill In the gaps indicated in the overall requirements of
Figures la and b. The methods developed are of an engineering type and
include charts, graphs and formulations which facilitate ease of use by hand.
By and large the methods are empirical and therefore are limited to the
range of test conditions and geometric parameters tested. The specific
conditions tested are discussed in Section 2.0 and the Mach number range of
interest, namely 0.6 to 3.0 is adequately covered. However. as Is usually the
case, the flight combinations of Mach and Reynolds numbers were not achieved
in the wind tunnel test programs. Therefore the resulting methods do not
contain all the effects of Reynolds ni-mber variation that might be desired.
Until better matching of flight conditions is achieved in wind tunnel tests,
the user of such methods must exercise care and Judgement with regard to
this point.

Finally it is noted that methodology was developed to predict Induced
yaw forces and moments and induced rolling moments,* and was provided as
pert of, this program. Reference 39 describe* the development of the methods
-. and the computerized version of the methods.
The general layout of the report is as follows: First, a general
description of the equipment and models used in data generation is given in
Section 2.0. Then a limited amount of data analysis is presented in Section
3.0. folloing this, Section 4.0 describes the forimulation of the aerody-
namic prediction equations and the terms for which methods are constructed.
The methods themselves are described in Section 5.0. Where applicable each'
description includes background discussions, treatment of data, approach of
construction, use of methods, and where possible, checks of method accuracy
against data not used in the construction.

2.0 EWUERIENTAL DATA SOURCES AND MODELS
The majority of data available for correlation (see Figure 2) were
generated using either U.S. Air Force or Martin Marietta, Orlando Division,
supplied models. Reference li, which is based on 485 hours of testing in
tunnels 4T and A at AEDC, is the primary source of data. The TVC data are
taken from a 312 hour test program in tunnels 16T and 16S at AEDC. Typical
missile compotents were tested separately and in combination. A Martin
Marietta supplied reflection plane and fins were tested to provide isolated
fin data to 180 degrees angle of attack. Isolated body and non-rolled body
tail data were generated using both Air Force and Martin Marietta models.
The Martin Marietta main body model is shown in Figure 3a with the selection
of tails which can be mated to the body shown in Figure 3b. The Air Force
and Martin Marietta models are both 10 cilibers in length with tangent ogive
noses but the Air Force nose is 2,.5 calibers compared to 3.0 calibers for
the Martin Marietta nose. The Air Force and Martin Marietta model diameters
are 1.25 and 3.75 inches, respectively. Tails of identical planform
geometry, arranged in cruciform and undeflected, were tested on each body.
Tail taper ratios, asptct ratios and diameter to span ratios were varied
between 0 - 1.0, 0.5 - 2.0 and 0.3 - 0.5, respectively. Angles of
attack varied from 0 to 180 degrees. The maximum angle of attack attained
by the Martin MarieLta sting mounted model was limited to 60 degrees. Through
a combination oi stings and struts, the Air Force model was tested to 180
degrees. The Martin 4arietta model was equipped with four 3-component tail
balances compared to a single tail balance for the Air Force model. These
7
f/
-
balances measured t'ail normal force, hinge moment and rLot bending moment.
Six-component main balance data were' available from each model.
Body-wing-tail configurations were tested to 30 degrees angle of attack
at a non-rolled altitude using the Martin Marietta model. Data consisted
of 6-component main balance atid 3-component fin balance outputs. This
model can accomodate sets of half wings mounted in cruciform at several
different axial stations between the shoul'ar and after body section containing
the tail balances. The wings are not attached to recording balances. Wings
tested were of constant aspect ratio 2.0 and taper ratio 0.0 with diameter to
span ratio vatying between 0.35 and 0.5.
A more complete description of the sources of test data, test conditions
and model configurations is contained in the Data Report (Reference 5) submitted
as part of this study contract (CDRL Item No. AO05).

"3.0 AERODYNAMIC DATA TRENDS
Before proceeding to the various methods, a qualitative analysis of
some of the test data will be presented. The discussions are intended to
illuminate the basic phenomena underlying model aerodynamic behavior and
provide the user with more than simply a recipe for calculating the
v.rious force and moment quantities. Many of the basic ideas used were
presented in References 2 and 3. They will be sumarized here for the
sake of convenience. The discussions here will be limited to isolated
fins and bodies and body plus tail configurations.
"3.1 Fin Aerodynamics
Most of the disaussions in this section are based upon those of
Reference 2. No attempt will be made to reproduce all of the previous
material. The reader is referred to the original document for a detailed
treatment.
The discussions center on the effects of fin geometry (planform
taper and aspect ratios) and Mach number on the aerodynamic characteristics.
Fin flow patterns are discussed briefly along with the associated stall
r '" characteristics. The implications for fin normal force coefficient and
chordwise center of pressure location are outlined. Discussions begin
with a consideration of delta fins.

Figure 4. Vortices Produced by the Reattachment ofLower Surface Boundary Layer
At high angles of attack the flow aroui:d delta fins is char-
acterized by the presence of large upperesurface vortices fed with vor-
ticity from the boundary layers which separate at the leading edges (See
Figure 4). Stall on such wings is brought about by vortex "bursting".
This is accompanied by a breakdown of the well-ordered vorttx flow and a
sudden pressure increase at and downstream of the "burst" point. Upstream
the pressure in the vortex remains low and produces a suction which in-
creases the normal force. As angle of attack is increased the "burst"
point moves upstream towards the trailing edge. When it crosses the edge,
stall begins and is characterized by a loss of normal force and a forward,
movement of the center of pressure. As aspect ratio increases, the stalling
angle of attack decreases. These effects ore shown in Figures Sa and 5b
at transonic speeds. The figures also show the following:
13
-
.1) The normal force curve slopes, C N, at a - 00 and 1800
are numerically equal - this result is predicted by
Slender Body Theory.
it) At a - 900, the centers of pressure and of area very
nearly coincide. This is inituitively obvious.
iii) At a - 1800 the centers of presiture of these delta fins
lie right at the "leading" edge. This bears out the
Slender Body Theory result that all of the loading on a
fin occurs over the region where the fin span is changing
(increasing). The predicted effect of retreating side
edges (i.e., -to push the center of pressure upstream) is
not evident. A similar result is found for non-delta
fins also.
Still confining the discussions to delta fins, Figures 5c and d
show their behavior at supersonic speeds. It will be seen that no stal-
ling is visible at thisMach number. During the reflection plane tests
from which these data were obtained, it was found that near a - 900 at
supersonic Mach numbers, the fins behaved like forward facing steps, re-
sulting in low values of C.. Accordingly, the CN value at a - 900 was
obtained from Reference 6 and the data faired through that point as shown.
Also worthy of note is the center of pressure behavior, particularly near
a - 1800.
When the fin planform is not triangular, the upper surface vortices
referred to earlier are modified or joined by yet other rotating flows.
14
(
-
For rectangular fins, the large suction-producing vortices now spring
from the side edges, while a laminar separation bubble can exist at
the leading edge. When stall occurs on such a fin, it is frequently a
result of laminar bubble lengthening, spreading low-velocity, high
pressure flow over the upper surface. The result is a loss of normal
force and a rearward shift of center of pressure. A clipped delta fin
'displays behavior somewhere between that of a delta and a rectangular
fin. This behavior is shown in Figures 6a and b at transonic speeds.,1 00
Note the centers of pressure for the rectangle at a - 0 and 180". They/lie right at the "leading" edge as predicted by Slender Body Theory. At
a - 1800, all three fins show this predicted behavior. As before, the
supersonic data show no visible stalling and have been faired through
CN /2 from Reference 6, Figures 6c and d.
The effect of increasing Mach number on a delta fin is to move the
vortex "burst" point downstream. Thus a fin which is stalled at one
Mach number may be unstalled by simply increasiug Mach. This behavior .s
* shown in Figures 7a and b for an AR - 2.0 delta fin. The stalling
behavior at M - 0.8 is entirely removed at M - 1.3 and higher.
3.2 Body Aerodynamics
As in the case of fins, the aerody-.amic characteristics of
bodies at high angles of attack are largely influenced by viscous, stpa-
rated flows. The discussions below deal with these, especially in the
case where the body wake takes the form of an asymmetric vortex pattern.
This phenomenon has recently become of considerable interest for high
15
-
incidence missiles (Reference 7).
When a slender missile body is placed at angle of attack in a uni-
form flow,' the boundary layer generally separates on either side of the
body and forms a lee-side wake. Separation usually begins near the rear
when the missile reaches about 6 degrees angle of attack. The wake takes
the form of a pair of symmetrically-disposed, counter-rotating vortices
fed by vorticity shed from the separating Loundary layer. As angle of
attack increases, the axial extents, sizes and strengths of vortices
increase also.
When the body angle of attack reaches about 25 degrees, the symmet-
rical nature of the wake disappears. The two vortices are joined by a
third, beginning again at the body rear, and the wake becomes asymmetric. As
angle of attack is increased further, more vortices Join the flow until the
: - wake contains several which have been shed from the body. A section
taken through the wake shows it'to resemble the von Karman vortex street,
well known in the literature on two-dimensional flows.
The asymmetric nature of the wake produces an asymmetric distribution
"of pressure forces along the body. This results in out-of-plane forces
and moments being induced, whether the body has lifting surfaces deployed or
not. These forces and moments can be significantly large, requiring special
means to be found to counteract or remove their effects (Reference 8).
Figure 8a shows the force and moment coefficients induced #. a body at
Mt's 0.6. The effect of increasing Mach number to supersonic values is
u~tidly to reduce those effects to negligible prcportlions. This may
be seen in Figure 8b for M - 2.0. Later discussions will illustrate the
16
" " " 1'/ "./ i ",
-
"additional effects of adding lifting surfaces to such a body. The steady,
asymmetric wake persists up to angles of about 50 to 60 degrees. At higher
angles the wake becomes unsteady and vortices are shed asymmetrically.
3.3 Body Tail Configuration Aerodynamice
The addition of tails to a body generally increases the out-of-
plane forces and moments induced by &symmetric vortex effects as well as
produring rolling moments. Several examples will be given of these
important effects. Figures 9a and b show out-of-plane quantities at M - 0.6/
for two typical sets of cruciform tails fixed to the 10:1 caliber body
("plus"' attitude). It is of interest to note the correspondence between the
peaks of force and moment. The angle of attack has generally been limited
to 90 degrees because:/
i) By 90 degrees the wake flow is unsteady and the out-of-plane
quantities fluctuate rapidly.
ii) Above 90 degrees, the presence of the strut support might cause
alterations in the wake pattern and its effects.
By the time Mach number has reached 2.0, no induced effects are visible
(not shown here).
Another illustration of the asymmetric wake effect is contained in
Figures lOs and b. Previous testing on a MO( model with four instrumented
tails yielded the forces and moments on the individual tails. Complete
configuration rolling .wment was obtained from separate (main balance)
instrumentation. Figure 10a shows the tail forces for a "cross" configuration
( 45") at angles of attack to 60 degrees. If the moments of these tail
17
-/K
-
"forces about the missile axis are summed and the result -%spared with the main
"balance reading, the comparison of Figure lOb is obtained., Clearly, the induced
roll Is generated by the unequal tail forces, which thenselvee are induced
by the asymetric wake.

5.0 AERODYNANIC METHODS
5.1 Isolated Components
5.1.1 Body Normal Force
Summary
A method is presented for predicting body normal force coefficients,
CB , for angles of attack between 0 and 180 degrees and Mach numbcrsB
from 0.6 up to 3.0. Comparisons between predicted results and experi-
mental datashow good agreement. This'method represents an improvement
over existing methods in that it accurately predicts CN both transonicallyB
and supersonically.
Background
The aerodynamic force directed normal to a body in its pitch plane
can be separated into potential and viscous flow contributions. Using
slender body theory, Munk found the potential flow contribution to be
equal to sin 2o, where 2 is the slope of the normal force coefficient
curve at a w 0 degrees. In later work by Ward (Reference 9), it wan shown
that this force is actually directed midway between the normal to the
stream and the normal to the body axis. Taking this into account, poten-
tial contributions to body normal force can be expressed as:
C oT sin 2a cosa (11)
At very low angles of attack, this potential term dominates body rormal
force. However, for angles of attack greater than 6 degrees, viscous
effects are introduced and rapidly become the dominating factor. Existing
theories do not adequately predict viscous effects. Empirical procedures
39
-
have been developed based on the early work by Allen and Perkins10 and
Kelly U which introduced the concept that the viscous crossflow around
inclined bodies of revolution is analogous to the flow around a circular
cylinder normal to the flow. In accordance with standard'notation, these
empirical procedures relate the viscous normal force contribution to Cdc
the crossflow drag coefficient defined by analogy with two-dimensional
flow. Thus
S 2C * n d -P sin2 a (12)
C d c Sref
Experimental data have shown Cd to be a function of both Reynolds andC
crossflow Mach numbers. Values of i have been determined empirically
from two-dimensional and finite length cylinder data.
Combining the theoretical potential and empirical viscous contri-
bution results in the following expression for body total normal force
coefficient:
Sp 2CM - sin 2a cos + Cd n--sin a (13)
12
This iS the same expression used by Jorgensen to predict transonic and
supersonic values of CN for angles of attack between 0 and 180 degrees.
The procedure outlined by Jorgensen in Reference 12 was found to be
inaccurate at transonic Mach numbers when predicted results were compared
r^-. the data of Reference 13. These comparisons are presented in
figures 11 through 14. Accuracy is only fair when all Mach numbers and
angles of attack are considered, but does improve with increasing Mach
number.
Two avenues are available to improve accuracy. First, develop a new
method to improve transonic capabilities. The second, and perhaps most
40
-
desirable approach, would be to develop a single procedure which would be
accurate both transonically and supersonically.
Method Development
A power series approach is used to develop a method which predicts
the combination of potential and viscous effects on body total CN'
Boundary conditions were sought which would adequately define the character-
istics of CN between angles of attack of 0 and 180 degrees. Values ofaCN
C and - at a - 0, w/2 and w were taken as boundary conditions.
Experimental data indicated that values of CN at a - 0 and a - r are
zero. Also from experimental data, it was observed that -- - 0 at a - w/28CN
and W. The remaining boundary conditions, i.e., CN at a - '/2 and - at a - 0.
were retained as free variables.
Applying these boundary conditions to the expression:
'2 3 4 5CNB oa +aa+ a2a + a3a + a4a + asa
yielded

which can be rewritten as

Values of A and A2 are plotted'as functions of angle of attack in
Figures 15 and 16. Values of C and CN still require definition.x/2
Transonic values of CN presented in Figure 17 as a function of
Mach number, nose length and afterbody length were taken from References
14 and 15. Supersonic values of CN presented in Figure 18 were taken0
from Reference 16 as a function of Mach number, nose length and afterbody
length. The data, of Figures 17 and 18 represent improvements over
existing correlations. Linear literpolation is required for values'of
C between Mach 1.2 and ].5.N
Values of CNw/2 can be calculated with Equation 13 recognizing
that the "potential" teim goes to zero and utilizing the published data
for values of n (Reference 17) and Cdc(Reference 12). The available
valueb of n (shown as no 0 n Figure 19) are derived from subsonic test
data and are typically assumed to apply up to croseflow Mach number (M c)
equal 1.0. Above Mach one n is normally assumed to be 1.0. Rather than
continue to use such a discontinuous rapresentationa procedure is
employed here which produces an estimate of the variation of n with M
through the transonic regime. The transonicvariation of n is developed
as follows:
The potential component of normal force Is still defined as in
Equation 11 with the change that CN replaces the 2. The intent is toN
make use of the test data (Reference 13) as a source for CN rather than
rely on the theoretical value of 2. Then the viscous contribution to
the normal force is defined as as follows:"CvIS

The quantity n CDC was calculated utilizing this expression at crossflow
Mach numbers ranging from 0.2 to 2.0. Values of Cd. were taken from
Reference 10 at the corresponding Mach numbers to permit solving for n.
The curve faired through the values of n which result from this exercise
is shown in Figure 20. The subsonic value is seen to apply up to about
- C.8 with the upward ,trend continuing to about M. a 1.4. A
polynomial expression was then derived as follows to represent the
variation of n with Me,
- 0.0 at M -0.8 atid 1.4c
n - n at Mc -0.8
n - 1.0 at M - 1.4c
Applying these boundary conditions to the following expansion:

yielded

Equation 16 is applicable to croseflow Mach numbers between 0.8 and 1.4
Values of n0 are contained in Figure 19. Values of 1% and B1 are pre-
sented in Figure 21.
Values of Cd from Reference 13 modified on the basis of the
results of Reference 3 are presented in Figure 22. These data cover a
wide range of croseflow Mach numbers and come from a number of different
sources.
Using the above information and Equation 12, it is now possible to
calculate the value of C required for the calculation of Cbetween
N /2bewn
a - 0 and 180 degrees.
Methr._d Evaluation
Check cases were made using the same configuration and conditions
represented in Figures 11 through 14. Figures 23 through 26 show com-
parisons between these predictions, experimental data, and predictions
using Jorgensen's procedure (Reference 12). These comparisons indicate
improved accuracy at high angles of attack in the transonic Mach regime
and equally good accuracy at all angleo of attack in the supersonic
regime.

Data Comparisons
The results of the numerical example are compared with experimental
data,(Reference 18) in Figure 27. Because these data were not involved In the
development of the method, this comparison represents an independent
check of the method. Agreement is quite good throughout the angle
46
-
of attack range transonically. Figure 28 represents further Independentchecks of predicted results against experimental data from Reference 19.Comparisons between predicted results and experimental data have shownthe method of this section to be more accurate than the Jorgensen methodIn the majority of cases. However, the Jorgensen method has proven moreaccurate in the 0 to 40 degree angle of attack range transonically.Therefore, it is recommended that the Jorgensen method be used in thisregion and the method of this sectlon in all others.

512Body Center of Pressure
Summary
A method is presented for predicting isolated body center of pressure,
X p for angles of attack between 0 and 180 degrees and Mach numbersB
from 0.6 up to 3.0. Comparisons between predicted results and experimental
data show good agreement.
Background
New highly maneuverable missiles will encounter extreme angles of
attack. In some cases angles of attack may approach 180 degrees in
either the transonic or supersonic Mach regimes.
Effective evaluation of proposed configurations will require methods
for predicting aerodynamic characteristics at extreme angles of attack
over a wide range of Mach numbers. Current predictive techniques are
limited to angles of attack less than 30 degrees. New methods are required
to fill the void between existing and, required capabilities. This section
deals specifically with a method for predicting body center of pressure,
X CP .* The method presented .is applicable to Mach numbers between 0.6
and 3.0 and angles of attack between 0 and 180 degrees.
Method Development
The method for predicting X C was developed using an empirical
approach. The initial step involved a survey of available data (References
13, 18, and 19). The data displayed characteristics which were unique
to specific Mach number and angle of attack ranges. For Mach numbers of
1.0 or greater, X CP displayed a rapid rearward movement between angles
of attack of 0 and 20 degrees, followed by a nearly linear progression
of X between 20 and 160 degrees and passes through the centroid of the
planform area at 90 degree. Finally, between 160 and-180 degrees', another
61
-
-/: . .' .. . . . . . .
.- /---
rapid rearward movement of XCP was observed. Experimental data showed
that the XCP left the body between 170 and 180 degrees. As the body
approaches 180 degrees, a couple is produced as the positive potential
normal f~ree on the eorward facing portion of the body becomes equal to
the negative potential force on the trailing nose portion of the body. This
couple subjects the body to a moment and to a zero net normal force. Under
these circumstances, calculated values of X~, tend to become infinitely
large.
For Mach numbers less than 1.0, XCp displayed the same characteristics
between 0 and 20 degrees and 160 and 180 degrees. However, the location
of X tended to remain essentlally constant between 20 and 50 degrees,CP
followed by a rearward movement which is linear between 50 and 160 degrees
and passes through the centroid of the planform area at 90 degrees.
A power series approach was used to develop the method between 0
and 20 degrees. In the usual way boundary conditions were sought. The
center of pressure at a - 0 degrees was taken as the first boundary
condition. Curves presenting X!g as a function of L., tAI atsd h in0d o d d
the transonic Mach regime are presented in Reference 3. For the sake
of completeness these are presented again here in Figure 29. Similar
data in the supersonic Mach regime (1.5 k M < 4.5) were found in
Reference 16 and ore presented in Figure 30. For a second boundary
condition it can be shown that for symmetrical bodies 3XCP/d 0I a0.0.
A third boundary condition was defined by the center of pressure at 20
degrees. This was defined ar the center of pressure at zero degrees
Splus an increment. Using data frce References 3. 13, aed 20, the
-
percentage of body length by which X U. shifted between 0 and 20 degrees was
determined as a function of Mach number (see Figure 31). As a final boundary
condition, 3Xp/ at 20 degrees was assumed to equal the slope of the
linear variation between 20 and 90 degrees angle of attack. Experimental
data indicated that the renter of pressure at 90 degrees could he approximated
as the centroid of Lhe planform arca. At 90 degrees, when the flow is
separated along the entire length of the body, the normnal force will be
due' entirely to crossflow-drag (Reference 3). Assuming a constant 'dc alongC
the body, the centers Of pressure and of planform area should then coincide.

Equation 17 was developed based on the characteristics of XCp at Hach
numbers of 1.0 or greater. Applying Equation 17 for Hach numbers less than
1.0 will produce good results even though 3XCP at a=20 degrees will be3a
in error.
As indicated earlier, the variation in X between 20 and 160 degrees
*:. is dependent upon Mach number. For Mach num'ers less than 1.0, the
location of X remains constant between 20 and 50 degrees and then moves
linearly toward the rear to the value of X at 160 degrees, passing throughCF
the centroid of the planform area at 90 degrees. For Mach numbers of 1.0
or greater, Xlp varies linearly between the locations at 20 and 160
degrees, passing thvough the centroid of the planform area at 90 degrees.
Using this information, the following equations were derived for determining
the slope of the linear variation and the value of X at 160 degrees.

This can be calculated using Equation 19. A second boundary, j~(written x O)

c'and 160 degrees. This value can be calculated using Equation 18. Also,
as a third boundary condition it can be shown t Ihat at 180 degrees 1C- 0.
Doi'As a final boundary condition, the center of pressure at 180 degrees was
assumed equal to the body length, rather than trying to define it as some
) Ipoint off the body as indicated earli.er. This assumption will1 introduce
no significant errors since the resulting forces and moments are sQall.
