Abstract
A series of one-degree-of-freedom dynamic wind tunnel measurements were made for a standard Supersonic Tunnel Association ten degree cone with varying bluntnesses of .25, .1, .0167, and .07. Variations of the stability coefficients with angle-of-attack, bluntness, Reynolds number, and Mach number are obtained including Mach 18 data points for which no previous data existed. An explanation of reported difference between measured dynamic stability as obtained from ballistic range and wind tunnel techniques is offered. The equations of motion, data reduction techniques and experimental methods are also developed.Keywords
