| Summary: | This report presents a compilation of most of the zero-lift drag results obtained from free-flight measurements made by the Langley Pilotless Aircraft Research Division on fin-stabilized bodies of revolution. The data are arranged on standard forms, which also contain the significant geometrical factors. Supplementary data have been provided to facilitate the determination of the body pressure drags from the measurement total drags. Summary plots and discussions have been included to provide a unified and broad picture of the effects of the body geometry on zero-lift drag. |
