Prediction of aerodynamic characteristics of cruciform missiles to high angles of attackA comprehensive method has been developed to predict the static aerodynamic characteristics of missiles with one or two sets of cruciform fins. The method, utilizing a data base augmented by analysis, is applicable over the Mach number range 0.8 to 3.0 and for angles of attack from 0 to 45 deg. Arbitrary bank angles and control deflections are allowed. Loads are calculated on each component of the missile and include effects of body and fin vortices. Comparison with data shows good agreement over a wide range of flight conditions.
