The coning motion of missiles for a slenderness between 15 and 20.5 was tested in the subsonic wind tunnel of the ISL at a speed of 34.2 m/sec and a Reynolds number of 110,000. The conical pendulum motion of the projectile was investigated, and it was found that the autorotation could be attributed to the shedding of body vortices. The coning motion could be prevented by disturbing the body boundary layer in an asymmetric way. (Author)
