A Pressure-distribution Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Body of Revolution in the Vicinity of a Reflection Plane at Mach Numbers of 1.41 and 2.01

The changes in the aerodynamic characteristics of a body of revolution with a fineness ratio of 8 have been determined at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01, a Reynolds number, based on body length, of 4.54 x 10 to the 6th power, and angles of incidence of 0 degrees and plus or minus 3 degrees as the position of the body is varied with respect to a reflection plane. The data are compared with theoretical results.
