An Investigation of the Pressure Distribution on a 1/15-Scale Model of the Lockheed WS-117L Vehicle Plus Booster "B" at Mach Numbers from 1.55 to 2.35

Norman J Martin

Abstract

Pressure coefficients were measured over the vehicle and over the forward part of the booster at Reynolds numbers of 3.0 x 10(exp 6) per foot. Tabular results are presented for two nose shapes at Mach numbers of 1.55, 1.75, 2.00, and 2.35, at angles of attack from -4 deg to +10 deg, and at 0 deg sideslip.
