Base drag of body in supersonic flight contributes large percentage of total drag, and this base drag is integrated under pressure acting on base; series of experiments measuring pressures acting on base of missile in free flight at supersonic velocities; results represent values actually measured in flight under full scale conditions as continuous function of Mach number.
