Abstract

The results are given of a theoretical and experimental investigation into supersonic flow over bodies with star-shaped transverse section and flat faces having an equivalent circular cone of elongation 1.3 as a function of the number of “petals” of the star-shaped body and the interior radius at its midsection. Data are given on the coefficient of wave drag of such bodies, and the total drag calculated using a semiempirical theory is compared with the results of weight measurements.
