Résumé du livre
Values of total-drag coefficient were measured for two fin-stabilized, blunt-nose bodies of revolution in free flight at Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.5. The blunt-nose configurations were designed by rounding off the sharp noses of two previously tested configurations,having nose fineness ratios of about 3 1/2, to radii equal to about 1/4 the maximum body radii.
