The objective of this memorandum is to highlight the problems currently facing the weapon aerodynamicist; the origins of these problems, and the methods available to predict and to solve the problems. Conclusions include: 1) Aerodynamic loads and moments for a wide variety of conventional missile configurations will enable the applicability of semi-empirical methods to be extended, and will contribute to the validation of computational Fluid Dynamics methods. 2) Measurement of flowfield and surface pressure characteristics will further the understanding of the flow around a missile, and will provide more severe test cases for CFD methods. 3) Increase of maximum Mach number will put more emphasis on the measurement and prediction of kinetic heating effects. 4) Solutions will need to be found to eliminate the random variation of out-of-plane forces generated at very high angles of incidence. 5) The effect of intakes on overall aerodynamic characteristics is large, but may be beneficial. 6) Significant aerodynamic problems, requiring extensive aerodynamic research, may be encountered for unconventional shapes.
