Use of sled system is recommended as methd of obtaining aerodynamic data in regime of high Mach and Reynolds numbers; description of sled designs and data collection system which is used successfully to acquire pressure data on cone-cylinders; data are compared with data from free-flight rockets, wind-tunnel tests and computer calculations; sled-testing appears promising method of simulating flight conditions at low altitudes at Mach numbers up to M equal 8; principal advantage is high degree of accuracy possible in determining actual test conditions, which include Mach number, static pressure, and static temperature; sleds may be used to collect other experimental data such as heat-transfer and boundary-layer transition.
