The differences in flight conditions and geometric configurations between aircraft and missiles mean that aerodynamic techniques for missile applications frequently differ from those used for aircraft. This lecture series aimed to emphasize these differences in the aerodynamic design features of both guided and unguided weapons. In addition to treating the component parts of the weapons themselves (e.g., wings, bodies, controls, propulsion units) and particular aspects of complete weapons (e.g., kinetic heating, high incidence effects), the course also dealt with the effects of air-breathing engines on the aerodynamics and vice versa, the interactions between aircraft and the weapons they carry, stores separation, and model test techniques.
