Several theoretical and empirical procedures are combined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on quite general wing-body geometries. The method is applicable for Mach number zero to three and angle-of-attack zero to about fifteen degrees. Computed results for several configurations compare well with experimental and other analytical results. It costs about five dollars per Mach number to compute the static aerodynamics of a typical wing-body shape on the CDC 6700 computer.

The report describes a computer program for calculating static forces and moments on canard-body-tail configurations. The program is applicable in the Mach number range, 0 = or

The differences in flight conditions and geometric configurations between aircraft and missiles mean that aerodynamic techniques for missile applications frequently differ from those used for aircraft. This lecture series aimed to emphasize these differences in the aerodynamic design features of both guided and unguided weapons. In addition to treating the component parts of the weapons themselves (e.g., wings, bodies, controls, propulsion units) and particular aspects of complete weapons (e.g., kinetic heating, high incidence effects), the course also dealt with the effects of air-breathing engines on the aerodynamics and vice versa, the interactions between aircraft and the weapons they carry, stores separation, and model test techniques.

Over the past half century, guided weapons have developed faster than any other form of weapon system, and they now exert a major influence on international politics, strategy, and tactics. Guided Weapons explains the technology and development of such systems and their use on the battlefield against armored vehicles, ground targets, and aircraft. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include all recent advances in the field, with particular emphasis on fiber-optic guidance.
