Download Drag and Performance Characteristics of Several Flexible Aerodynamic Decelerators at Mach Numbers From 1.5 to 6.0 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
An experimental investigation was conducted at Mach numbers from 1.5 to 6.0 to determine the drag and stability characteristics of several flexible aerodynamic decelerators located in the wake of double-strut-mounted forebodies. Data are presented which show a decrease in drag with an increase in free-stream Mach number and/or a decrease in drag for both guide surface decelerators and for a ballute. Because of differences in calibration techniques, riser line length, and test equipment, a 50- to 70-percent lower value of drag coefficient was obtained on a series of supersonic X decelerators when compared to previous tests. The present data do, however, agree reasonably well with drag data for a full-scale decelerator. An indication of the parachute stability is given in tabular form. All of the present data were obtained at a free-stream dynamic pressure of 1.0 psia and static pressures corresponding to pressure altitudes ranging from 70,000 to 130,000 ft. (Author).

Download Drag and Performance Characteristics of Flexible Aerodynamic Decelerators in the Wake of Basic and Modified Arapaho C Test Vehicle Configurations at Mach Numbers from 2 to 5 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Tests were conducted in the 40-in supersonic tunnel of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility to investigate the drag and decelerator models deployed at various positions aft of double-strut mounted forebodies. Data were obtained at Mach numbers from 2 to 5 at dynamic pressures corresponding to pressure altitudes which ranged from 41,000 to 140,000 ft. Selected typical results are presented. (Author).

Download Drag, Performance Characteristics, and Pressure Distributions of Several Rigid Aerodynamic Decelerators at Mach Numbers from 0.2 to 5 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Static force and pressure distribution tests were conducted at Mach numbers from 0.2 to 5.0 on rigid models of several aerodynamic decelerators in the wake of three types of forebodies. The tests were conducted at decelerator pitch angles from -8 to 8 deg at nominal free-stream dynamic pressures of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 psia. The decelerators were positioned at various axial stations in the wake of the forebodies, and selected configurations were tested in the free stream (no forebodies). Data are presented showing the effects of Mach numbers, decelerator pitch angle, and location in the wake on the drag and stability of various decelerator configurations. The pressure data support the measured force data and show large fluctuations in the canopy internal pressure on the supersonic X-2 parachute design.

Download Drag and Stability Characteristics of a Variety of Reefed and Unreefed Parachute Configurations at Mach 1.80 with an Empirical Correlation for Supersonic Mach Numbers Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
An investigation was conducted at Mach 1.80 in the Langley 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of variation in reefing ratio and geometric porosity on the drag and stability characteristics of four basic canopy types deployed in the wake of a cone-cylinder forebody. The basic designs included cross, hemisflo, disk-gap-band, and extended-skirt canopies; however, modular cross and standard flat canopies and a ballute were also investigated. An empirical correlation was determined which provides a fair estimation of the drag coefficients in transonic and supersonic flow for parachutes of specific geometric porosity and reefing ratio.
