Induced Side Forces on Bodies of Revolution at High Angle of Attack

Abstract
Linear regression techniques are used to establish a quantitative description of side forces on bodies at high incidence. A data base is assembled concerning the key side force characteristics of maximum observed side force, angle of occurrence, and minimum angle of attack at which a side force is observed. This information is examined to determine the important trends and a predictive model for side force based on the crossflow analogy is developed to suggest other important variables. A linear regression model for these quantities is developed to include only those variables which are statistically significant.
