A method has been developed for computing aerodynamic loads on slender missiles with complicated cross-sections. This method has been applied to the prediction of loads for missiles with folding wings. Comparison of theoretical calculations with supersonic wind-tunnel measurements indicates that the method should provide satisfactory first estimates of the aerodynamic properties of missiles with folding wings. A series of design charts is presented to allow rapid estimation of lift, folding moment and span loading for a wide variety of folding-wing configurations.
