Transonic wind tunnel tests were conducted on a strut-mounted model of the LONGBOW missile configuration to determine thrust effects on a body of revolution afterbody with fins located at various longitudinal positions. Thrust was simulated by a cold air axial jet. Base pressure and afterbody forces and moments were measured. The test was conducted at Mach numbers from 0.4 to 1.25 and at angles of attack from -2 degrees to 10 degrees. Jet thrust was varied from 0 to 400 pounds. Reynolds number per foot varied from 0.7 to 1.7 million. (Modified author abstract)
