Book excerpt: This report is a User's Manual for the 1997 FORTRAN 90 revision of the Missile Datcom computer program. This supersedes WL-TR-93-3043. In missile preliminary design it is necessary to quickly and economically estimate the aerodynamics of a wide variety of missile configuration designs. Since the ultimate shape and aerodynamic performance are so dependent upon the subsystems utilized, such as payload size, propulsion system selection and launch mechanism, the designer must be capable of predicting a wide variety of configurations accurately. The fundamental purpose of Missile Datcom is to provide an aerodynamic design tool which has the predictive accuracy suitable for preliminary design, and the capability for the user to easily substitute methods to fit specific applications.

Book excerpt: The computer code is capable of addressing a wide variety of conventional missile designs. For the purposes of this document, a conventional missile is one which is comprised of the following: An axisymmetric or elliptically-shaped body, One to four fin sets located along the body between the nose and base. Each fin set can be comprised of one to eight identical panels attached around the body at a common longitudinal position, and An airbreathing propulsion system. To minimize the quantity of input data required, commonly used values for many inputs are assumed as defaults. However, all program defaults can be over-ridden by the user in order to more accurately model the configuration of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the methods available to predict the aerodynamic static, dynamic, and control characteristics of missiles. The methods selected for Missile Datcom development were based upon a criteria which included ease of use, accuracy, utility over a range of flight conditions and cost effective in their use. This report describes the methodology appropriate for the missile designer. An outline of a Missile Datcom handbook is proposed; an automated version is also recommended for development. Those areas presently lacking suitable methodologies are also highlighted. (Author).

Book excerpt: Development of a Missile DATCOM handbook and computer program is described. The type of methods investigated as well as a method selection rationale is discussed. Methods were selected for predicting the aerodynamics of missile configurations made up of circular, elliptic or arbitrary bodies with or without fins an inlets. These methods predict static and dynamic stability derivatives and are suitable for preliminary design. A summary of the comparisons of many results with experimental data is included. Keywords: Computer aided design, DATCOM computer program, FORTRAN, Subsonic, Transonic, Supersonic, Hypersonic.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we will examine a configuration for a reusable military launch vehicle (RMLS) concept. This configuration allows for the vehicle to land in an inverted attitude. Such inverted landing improves the turnaround time of the vehicle by reducing the maintenance requirements of the vehicle's thermal protection system. An analysis is performed to examine the impacts by the configuration on stability, control, and footprint for an RMLS configuration.

Download or read book New Methods for Predicting Nonlinear Lift Center of Pressure and Pitching Moment on Middile Configurations written by Frankie Gale Moore and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new semiempirical method has been developed to predict normal force, pitching moment, and center of pressure on missile configurations up to angles of attack of 30° The method is based on linear theory and slender body techniques at low angle of attack and uses wind tunnel data to derive nonlinear angle-of-attack corrections as angle of attack increaces. The new improved theories include body alone, wing alone, and body-wing and wing-body interference. While the new theory is databased, simple analytical formulas are derived that allow general use of the techniques. Comparison with the linearized approaches used in the former NSWCDD aeroprediction code shows singificant reductions in errors of aerodynamics above 5° to 10° angle of attack. Limited comparisons to other state-of-the-art engineering codes show the new theory to be as good as or better than anything known to be available for computing planar aerodynamics up to 30° angle of attack.
