This report contains the results of a subsonic wind tunnel test conducted to study the steady-state roll-rate characteristics of various wrap-around fin (WAF) missile configurations at angles of attack from 0 to 90 degs. The tests show that fin slots combined with wing tip fences and roll tabs eliminate the excessive roll-rate characteristics exhibited by WAF configurations at all angles of attack. (Author)
