This report summarizes wind tunnel test data on various body alone configurations which provide a data matrix for bluff and pointed bodies of revolution with systematic variations in nose bluffness, nose fineness ratio, and cylinder afterbody fineness ratio. Modular model components were used to obtain static stability and drag data, with emphasis on the effect of nose bluffness on drag. Although data is included for tangent ogive noses of fineness ratio 2, 2.25, 2.5, 3.0, and 4, the nose fineness ratios of 2, 3, and 4 calibers include a systematic variation in nose bluffness ratios of 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 on cylindrical midsections of 5, 7, 9, and 11 calibers. A 1-caliber cylindrical afterbody is used with all configurations in this report.

A research configuration was formed by attaching wraparound fins in a cruciform arrangement to a 10-caliber Army-Navy spinner projectile. This configuration was tested in a supersonic tunnel to get the Magnus force and moment, as well as the normal force and pitching moment. Model spin rate was generated by means of fin cant.
