Experimental static-stability and axial-force data are presented for several configurations of a 0.4-scale model of a monorail rocket sled at Mach numbers of 8 and 10. The test Reynolds numbers, based on maximum model length, were approximately 14.4 and 10.7 million, respectively. The models were tested in close proximity to a ground plane assembly which simulated the rail and trough of the Holloman AFB High-Speed Test Track. Results are presented to show the effects of configuration variables such as nose shape; vertical, forward, and aft canards; rocket booster chamber length; and forward and aft slipper wedges.
