A wind-tunnel investigation has been conducted to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of two preliminary designs of the Scout research vehicle. The first model was tested at Mach numbers from 1.77 to 2.87 at Reynolds numbers of 3.7 x 10(exp 6) to 4.0 x 10(exp 6) per foot. A variable angle-of-attack range of -2 degrees to 14 degrees was used in determining the effect of nose shape, size of interstage flare base diameter, size of trapezoidal first-stage fins, and fin tip-control deflection on the aerodynamic characteristics of the model.
