Abstract

From Summary: A flight test was conducted with a 0.13-scale rocket-boosted model of the McDonnell F4H-1 airplane configuration at transonic and supersonic speeds. The external drag coefficient varied from a value of 0.044 at a Mach number of 1.17 to 0.045 at a Mach number of 1.40 and then decreased to 0.041 at a Mach number of 1.90. The limited oscillatory data available indicate the existence of a coupled longitudinal-lateral motion in the Mach number range from 0.20 to 1.17.
