Proceedings of 30th Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, 25-30 September 2016, Daejeon, Korea9781510834552http://www.icas.org/ICAS_ARCHIVE/ICAS2016/data/preview/2016_0244.htmhttps://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/14613© The AuthorsThe addition of wedge-like fairings onto the side of missiles and space launch vehicles, to shield devices such as cameras or reaction jet nozzles, creates additional drag, particularly when in supersonic/hypersonic flow. An experimental and computational study was performed to obtain data on wedge configurations and develop simple theories for the drag due to these types of fairings.en© The AuthorsConference paper
