The aerodynamic characteristics of a spinning 105 mm shell shape have been measured as a prelude to tests of a shell shape fitted with canard control surfaces. Tests were conducted at incidences of zero to 15 degrees, and Mach numbers of 0.70 to 0.95 and 1.4. Results indicate that the use of canard surfaces to control the flight path of such a projectile is unlikely to be very effective within the low transonic Mach number range, but could possibly be effective in supersonic flight.
