Rocket sleds are used to conduct experiments on supersonic flight problems (aerodynamic deceleration, guidance missile shock and blast wave interaction, etc; quasi-steady-state vertical forces on three dual-rail rocket sleds, which were predicted using wind-tunnel data, were compared with those measured on Holloman Test Track of U S Air Force Base; for loads between 12,000 and 32,000 lb, differences were less than or equal to 3000 lb; agreement was poorer for smaller loads; measurements indicated that aerodynamic contribution was dominant component to vertical quasi-steady-state force in supersonic regime; other findings and conclusions.
