Estimating the magnus moment effect on stability of 30-mm boomed projectiles
Abstract
This report documents the results obtained from a comparison of free-flight spark range tests and PRODASMAGNUS computer stability results for 30mm spin stabilized projectiles. Two configurations were considered, each with the same boom diameter of 0.5, 1.0 inch and 1.25 inch boom lengths. The results show that PRODASMAGNUS can accurately predict the effects of a boom's presence on projectile stability.
