Summaries of missile aerodynamic data are presented. Most of the configurations considered are suitable for highly maneuverable air-to-air or surface-to-air missiles; data for a few air-to-surface, cruise missile, and one projectile configuration are also presented. The Mach number range of the data is from about 0.2 to 4.63; however, data for most configurations cover only a portion of this range. The following aerodynamic characteristics at various Mach numbers and zero angle of attack are presented: (1) base drag coefficient, (2) drag coefficient, (3) lift-curve slope, (4) aerodynamic-center location, (5) sideslip derivatives, and (6) control effectiveness. The maximum lift-drag ratio is also presented for some configurations. (Author)
