Abstract
A study of the Magnus effects was made for a 0.355-scale model of the Apache sounding rocket at Mach numbers 2-6. Freestream Reynolds number, based on model length, was varied between 1.8 X 10 and 23.9 X 10, and angle of attack varied from —5° to 15°. The model was tested without fins at spin rates up to 4000 rpm and with fins at cant angles of 0, —1° , and ±2°, which produced spin rates ranging from about —3200 to 3200 rpm. Tests of the complete spinning model showed significant changes in the Magnus forces and moments with angle of attack, Mach number, and Reynolds number. Tests of the spinning model with and without fins and static tests with different fin combinations allowed a degree of assessment of the different type Magnus effects.
