A low-speed experimental study of the directional characteristics of a sharp-nosed fuselage through a large angle-of-attack range at zero angle of sideslip

Static yawing moments and some instantaneous yawing moments are presented through a range of angle of attack at zero sideslip angle for a plain fuselage model having a sharp conical nose and for the fuselage with several nose modifications, one of which consisted of a ring located at different stations along the nose. Some circumferential pressure measurements at one station on the body at several angles of attack are also presented.
