Missile aerodynamic data which have been declassified are presented. Only summary data are given, but a list of reference documents provides sources of detailed data. Most of the configurations considered are suitable for highly maneuverable air-to-air or surface-to-air missiles; however, a few cruise missile and projectile configurations are also provided. The Mach number range of the data is generally from about 1.5 to 4.63; however, data for some configurations extend to subsonic Mach numbers. The following longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics at various Mach numbers are presented: (1) pitch control effectiveness, (2) drag coefficient at zero lift, (3) lift-curve slope at alpha=0 deg, and (4) aerodynamic-center location.
