Several theoretical and empirical procedures are combined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on quite general wing-body geometries. The method is applicable for Mach number zero to three and angle-of-attack zero to about fifteen degrees. Computed results for several configurations compare well with experimental and other analytical results. It costs about five dollars per Mach number to compute the static aerodynamics of a typical wing-body shape on the CDC 6700 computer.

This report discusses the pros and cons of numerical, semiempirical and empirical aeroprediction codes and lists many state-of-the-art codes in use today. It then summarizes many of the more popular approximate analytical methods used in State-of-the-Art (SOTA) semiempirical aeroprediction codes. It also summarizes some recent new nonlinear semiempirical methods that allow more accurate calculation of static aerodynamics on complete missile configurations to higher angles of attack. Results of static aerodynamic calculations on complete missile configurations compared to wind tunnel data are shown for several configurations at various flight conditions. Calculations show the new nonlinear methods being far superior to some of the former linear technology when used at angles of attack greater than about 15 degrees.

New and improved version of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division aeroprediction code (AP93) has been developed. The new code contains new technology that allows planar aerodynamics of axisymmetric solid rocket-type weapons to be computed with engineering accurately over the entire Mach number range and for angles of attack to 30 deg. New technology developed and included in the AP93 includes; A new engineering method to compute aeroheating information at a high Mach number; Extension of the second-order shock-expansion theory to include real-gas effects, including several new pressure prediction techniques; An improved body-alone nonlinear normal-force method; New methods for computing nonlinear aerodynamics of wing alone, wing body, and body wing due to angle of attack, and wing body due to control deflection; and a new base-dmg database and improved empirical base-drag estimation technique. ...

This report documents some techniques used in deriving the equations of motion of a missile for a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) simulation. Several forms of the equations are developed, and their implementation is discussed. Specific emphasis is placed on showing the interrelation of the equation forms currently in use by showing their development from the basic laws. This report is meant to serve as a primer for new engineers and as a reference for all engineers involved in missile flight simulation.
