Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the official final report to the Office of Scientific Research and Development concerning the work done on the exterior ballistics of fin-stabilized rocket projectiles under the supervision of Section H of Division 3 of the National Defense Research Committee at the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory during 1944 and 1945, when the laboratory was operated by The George Washington University under contract OEMsr-273 with the Office of Scientific Research and Development. As such, its official title is “Final Report No. B2.2 of the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory, OSRD 5878.” After the removal of secrecy restrictions on this report, a considerable amount of expository material was added. It is our hope that thereby the report has been made readable for anyone interested in the flight of rockets. Two slightly different types of readers are anticipated. One is the trained scientist who has had no previous experience with rockets. The other is the person with little scientific training who is interested in what makes a rocket go. The first type of reader should be able to comprehend the report in its entirety. For the benefit of the second type of reader, who will wish to skip the more mathematical portions, we have attempted to supply simple explanations at the beginnings of most sections telling what is to be accomplished in those sections. It is our hope that a reader can, if so minded, skip most of the mathematics and still be able to form a general idea of rocket flight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses basic questions of the theory of the flight of controlled and unguided rockets of different assignment and the influence of their design and construction on conditions of flight. Consideration is given to the following forces and moments having an effect on the rocket in flight: tractive force (thrust), force of weight, control forces and moments, aerodynamic drag. The theoretical and experimental determination of aerodynamic coefficients is described, as well as the character of their change in the process of flight depending upon altitude and meteorological factors. The phenomena accompanying the flight at great heights and the phenomenon of aerodynamic heating are discussed. The basic positions of the theory of rocket flight are examined. Fundamental information is given on the formulation of equations of motion and the calculation of characteristics of trajectories of the flight of controlled and unguided rockets of different assignment. The concept on the establishment of optimum conditions of motion and the calculation of trajectories according to data of radar observations are discussed. Different methods of stabilizing rockets in flight and factors affecting the deviation of the rocket from the calculated trajectory are investigated. The causes of dispersion during firing by the rockets and the methods of decreasing the dispersion are explained.
