The demand for continually increased performance of missiles and aircraft leads to considering flight at very high angles of attack where control is very difficult. This is mainly due to the shedding of asymmetric vortices from the forebody, producing side forces even at zero sideslip. The purpose of this paper is not to make a review of missile aerodynamics at high angle of attack, but to focus on an understanding of the phenomena which give rise to asymmetric vortices, from an experimental as well as a theoretical point of view.
