 Tests were T.ade in the U.IAL l6-foot high-speed 
 tionnel to determine the aerod^mainic characteristics 
 of a 1000-pound AN-Iv'i-65-AZON radio-controlled bomb at 
 Mach nwiibers ranging from 0.2 to 0,6, 
 
 Over the Mach number range covered in the tests 
 the hinge-moment coefficients, yawing-moment coefficients, 
 and lateral-force coefficients exhibited no important 
 changes with increasing speed. The drag coefficients 
 increased gradually with Increasing Mach number but no 
 sudden increases v/ere observed. The effect on the bomb 
 aerod3mai:iJ c characteristics of antenna struts mounted 
 on the bomb tail was found to be small. 
 
 The rudder and aileron operating mechanisms wore 
 found to be capable of supr)l:'ring several times the 
 required torques for maximum control deflections at a 
 Mach number of 0.6 at sea level. The operating mecha- 
 nism is also adequate for maximum control deflections 
 at a Mach number of 1.0 provided that no appreciable 
 increases in hinge-moment coefficient occur between 
 M = 0,6 and M = 1.0. Hov;ever, because of uncertainty 
 as to the value of the hinge-moment coefficient at or 
 near M = 1,0, the desirability of providing m.ore 
 powerful control mechanisms was indicated. 
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Tests have been conducted in the LL'AL l6-foct 
 high-speed tunnel to determine the aerodynamic 
 
characteristics of a 1000-pound _'\i\[-M-65-AZON radio- 
 controlled bomb, Measure.mentG of rudder hinge moment, 
 yav;lng inoment, lateral force, end drag were made at a 
 number of tunnel speeds up to a Mach number of about 
 0.6 v\rhich corresponds to a speed of 67O feet per second 
 at sea level. 
 
 Aerodjniamlc tests of a two-thirds scale model of 
 a similar bomb were conducted previously at the Daniel 
 Guggenheim Airship Institute at Akron, Ohio. These 
 tests, however, were made at low airspeeds and, there- 
 fore, uncertain extrapolations of the data to the higli- 
 speed operating conditions were necessary in the design 
 of the control mechanism and in performance computations. 
 
 In drop tests of the bombs it was found that, vvhile 
 some of the experimental bombs performed satisfactorily, 
 a large percentage of the production version failed to 
 respond properly to the control. The present investiga- 
 tion was undertaken principally to determine if the 
 lack of control of the production bombs was due to 
 adverse compressibility effects. It was also desired 
 to obtain high-speed test data upon which to base per- 
 formance calculations and the design of the control 
 mechanism. 
 
 The investigation was undertaken at the request 
 of the Army Air Forces, Materiel Oommand.

 DESCRIPTION OF BOMB ^WO APPARATUS 
 
 The AN-M-65-AZON bomb consists of a standard 
 fv!-D5 bomb case to -.vhich is fitted a special tail unit 
 equipped with novable control surfaces and housing a 
 control mechanism capable of being operated remotely 
 
k 
 
 by radio. The bc'Ti'b cen be controlled onl:'- in the left 
 and right or azimuth direction, hence, the designation 
 AZON an abbreviation of "azlimith only." A gyroscopic 
 control mechanism operates the horizontal control sur- 
 faces differentially as ailerons to prevent the bomb 
 from rolling in flight. 
 
 For these tests part of bhe control apparatus was 
 removed from the tail and strain-gage equipment for 
 measuring rudder hinge moments vi/as Installed. Since 
 the ailerons and rudders were identical, hingo-mom.ent 
 data apnly eqtially to both. For this reason no provision 
 was made 'f'or measuring aileron hinge moments directly 
 and the ailerons were locked in tho neutral position 
 throughout the tests. 
 
 In order to facilitate Installation and testing 
 the bomb was m.ounted in the tunnel In a position 9^° 
 in roll from its normal flight position so that rudders 
 
 The bom:b vi^as supported on the tunnel center line 
 by means of a single vertical strut 8 inches in chord 
 and of NACA section 16-OO9. The strut was shielded by 
 a fairing of tiie same section to within about 10 inches 
 of the bomb case. In addition, four 0.030-inch wires 
 were attached to the bomb to provide lateral siipport. 
 The wires and support strut were mounted on the balance 
 frame and were included in the force measurements. A 
 photograph of the bomb installed in the tunnel is shown 
 in figure 5 . 
 
 The angle of sideslip of the bom.b was variable 
 from -20'^ to 2.0^^ throt^gh fixed increments by moans of 
 an internal indexing mechanism while the rudder angle 
 was continucusl.^'- variable from, -20^ to 20*^ by means 
 of a slotted plate arrangement. 
 
 As received, the bomb tall was fitted with four 
 struts wh:ch, in addition to serving as braces for the 
 tail surfaces, also served as the radio antenna. The 
 strirbs may be seen in figure 3. 
 
TEST PROGSDuRE 
 
 The test procedure consisted, of measuring rudder 
 hinge moinent, yawing mcment, lateral force, and drag 
 at a numoer of speeds up to a Llach nuiuher of approxi- 
 mately 0.6 for each combination of rudder angle and 
 angle of sideslip. In datcrmining the bomb charac- 
 teristics only the negative range of sideslip angles 
 (0° to -20") was investigated in order to keep the bomb 
 tail outside the wake of the support strut and its 
 fairing. The angular range of Qo to 20° was employed 
 in determining the support-strut tares. The range of 
 rudder angles tested v/as from -15° to 20°. Most of the 
 test r-uns were made with the antenna tail struts 
 installed but a few runs were made with the struts 
 removed for purposes of comparison. This information 
 on the effect of the antenna struts was specifically 
 requested by the Army. The resiilts tliroughout the report 
 are given for the struts-installed configuration unless 
 otherwise specifically noted. 
 
 During the tests deflectionii of the bomb in the 
 direction of the air flow v/ere measured and corrections 
 to the yawing moment applied to accoijuat for the change 
 in position. In addition, a calibration was later made 
 to determine the angular deflections of bomb and rudders 
 vinder the influ.^nce of the uerodjmamic loads. 
 
 Strut tare ^orces were measured v/ith the aid of an 
 image strut mounted as shov/n in figure I4., Wire tare 
 forces were determined simply by making measurements 
 with the wires rem.oved. 
 
 Yawing moment, lateral force, and drag data have 
 been corrected both for tares and for the angular 
 deflections of bomb and rudders under aerodj'/namic loads. 
 
 Corrections for the deflections have not been applied 
 to the hinge -m.oment data. As presented the hinge -moment 
 coefficient is aboi.it 9 percent too low at the greatest 
 negative bomb and rudder angle and at the highest tunnel 
 speed, which is the extreme case. 
 
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 
 
 Curves of jraYi^ing-moment coefficient, lateral-force 
 coefficient, and drag coefficient versus Mach number are 
 presented in figures 5 through l3. It should be pointed 
 
out that the ^^ = -0.5^ and Cp ~ 0° curves shown in 
 figures 5i 11, and 17 aro helieved to be slightly in error 
 due to friction in the Dalanco sjsten durjng that particu- 
 lar test run. This is in.dicated by the scatter of the 
 test points ■nartloularly at uhe lower speeds. 
 
 Derived curves of yaving r.Oinent, lateral force, and 
 drag coefficients versus sideslip angle are given in fig- 
 ures IQ, 20, and 21. Figure 22 sho\/s the lateral force 
 and drag coefficients at tri:in as, a function of the rudder 
 angle. The ei'fect of center-of-gravity location on the 
 stability and trim angles of the bomb is shown in fig- 
 ure 25. Einga-moinent data are presented in figures ?1\. 
 through 5.1. F'igure 52 is a photograph of a rudder after 
 structural fail^ire has occurred. 
 
 Ya"/irg norent .- Yawing-moment coefficient data are 
 presentad in figures 5 through 10. Turing the tests 
 yav/ing moments were measured about a point 22.58 inches 
 from the bomb nose. In the data nresented in the report 
 the moments were transferred to a point 2b. 60 inches 
 from the nose of the bomb, which was the center-of- 
 gravity location of sand-filled bombs used in the drop 
 tests, mentioned earlier in the report. 
 
 The figures sliow that the variation of the yawing- 
 moment coefficient with Mach laumber is sm.all for all the 
 rudder angles and angles of sideslip over the range of 
 speeds cox'ered in this investigation. Figures 9 ^^c' 10 
 show the i-ariation of yav/ing-mom.ent coefficient with 
 Mach mxnber with the antenna struts removed. From a 
 comparison of these figures Vifith figures 5 and 7 it 
 will be seen that the struts have -oractically no effect 
 on the yawlng-mioment coefficient. 
 
 Later a l force .- Curves of lateral-force coefficient 
 versus Mach nuriiter for the various rudder angles and 
 angles of sidoslio are presented in figures 11 through 16, 
 In general, the coefficient increases negatively with 
 increasing Mach nixnber. The change :s slight, however. 
 Figures 15 and I6 show the variation of lateral-force 
 coefficient with Mach niuaber with the antenna struts 
 removed. As in the case of the yawing-moment coefficients 
 the effect of the struts on the lateral-force coefficient 
 is small. 
 
 Drag .- The variation of drag coefficient with Mach 
 number is shown in figure I7 for various angles of side- 
 slip and rudder angles. No sudden increases in the drag 
 
coefficient occurred in the speed range of the tests. 
 Curves for a few of the sice slip and rudder angles have 
 not been plotted in figure I7 to avoid excessive con- 
 gestion and overlapping. Gurvos of the drag coefficient 
 versus Maoh number with the anbenna tail struts removed 
 are ujiven in figure I8. A coTioai':! son of this figure with 
 figure 17 shows that for a sideslip angle of -0.5° and a 
 rudder angle of 0° removal of the struts results In a 
 decrease xn the drag coefficient of O.OO9 or about 5 per- 
 cent of the minimUiTi drag. 
 
 BOTib characters 3 1 i C3__as_a ^ft xn.c bi or of sidosli p 
 angle" .- Curves of yawTng-monient coefriciexit, lateral- 
 forct! coefficient, and drag coefficient versus the angle 
 of sideslip are presented in figures I9, 20, and 21, 
 respectively. These curves are cross plots of the faired 
 yawing -moment, Isteral-force, and drag coefficient curves 
 prsv?. ously presented. Since the variation cf the coeffi- 
 cients v;ith Maoh nuinber was not appreciable except for 
 the drag coefficient only the curves for a Maoh number 
 cf 0.6 are shown. It will be noted from figure I9 that 
 the bomb stability decreases slightly as the angle of 
 sideslip approaches zero. At the Icirger negative side- 
 slip angles and positive rudder angles there is also 
 some decrease in stability with increasing angle of 
 sideslip. 
 
 Trim conditions.- Figure 22. shov/s the lateral -force 
 
 and drag coefficients obta^'ning jxt triir. for various 
 rudder deflections. It will be seen that i'or tl-;e maxi- 
 mum rudder deflection of 20° and at a Maoh number of 0.6 
 the bomb trims in an attitude ^or which the lateral-force 
 coefficient is -0.Ii.22 and the. drag coefficient is O.56O. 
 Reference to figure l*^) shov/s that the corresponding angle 
 of sideslip for trim js -10.5°, 
 
 Bomb maneuverability .- The following table is pre- 
 sented to illustrate roughly the magnitude of the lateral 
 deviations possible rrtien the bomb is dropoed from dif- 
 ferent altitudes. It is assumed that the bomibing air- 
 plane is fl^d-ng at a constant indicated airspeed of 
 175 ^'iiiles per hour and that the maximum Dorab rudder 
 deflection of 20° is maintained over the entire flight 
 path. The left-hand column givds the height above sea 
 level v/hich is also considered to be ground level and 
 the right-hand column gives the approximate value of 
 the maximum lateral deviation possible when the bomb is 
 released at the corresponding altitude.

 angle of sideslip for trijn with a consequent increase in

 The change becomes

 It is clear that any loss of control of the oomb at Mach 
 numbers of 0.6 and belov/ cannot be attributed to radical 
 changes in hinge moments due to compressibility effects. 
 Figure 28 shows the variation of hlnge-mom.ent coefficient

 struts removed. Figure Jl 3hows the variation of hinge- 
 moment coefficient vd th rudder angle for the same con- 
 figuration. A comparison of these figures with fig- 
 ures 2l|., 26, and 2^ shows that the struts have no 
 aDPreciable effect on the rudder hinge-mom.ent coefficient.

 From tests in the LMAL Instnuiient Research Division 
 on tho rudder and aileron operating mechanisms it has 
 been determ.ined that the maximum torque available for 
 holding the rudde'^s in a given position is 200 inch- 
 pounds. For a rudder deflection of 20° and the corre- 
 sponding angle of sideslip for trim of -10.5^ the total 
 hinge moment acting on both rudders at a Mach number 
 of 0.6 at sea level is 52 inch-pounds. If it is assumed 
 that no change in the hinge-moir.ent coefficient occurs 
 between M = 0.6 and M = 1.0, the torque required at 
 a Mach munber of 1.0 is 1l|.5 Inch-po-unds . Such an assump- 
 tion is somewhat doubtful, however, and if appreciable 
 increases in the hinge -mcm.ent coefficieiit do occur, then 
 at or near a Mach number of 1.0 at sea level the torque 
 may be insufficient to maintain the maximum rudder 
 deflection of 20°. 
 
 For the maximum, aileron deflection of ±6° and an 
 angle of sideslip of -0.'^^ the torqiie required for one 
 aileron at a I.Iach number of 0.6 at sea level is 11 inch- 
 pounds. Assuming as before that no change in the hinge- 
 moment coefficient occurs betv;een M = 0.6 and M = 1.0 
 the torque roqiiired at I.' = 1.0 is 30 inch-pounds. The 
 maximum aileron torque available at the 6*^ deflection was 
 determined to be l\.0 inch-pounds, although the assuroption 
 of no change in the hinge-mom.ent coefficient between 
 M = 0.6 and V =1.0 is more reasonable for the case 
 of the small aileron deflection than for the larger 
 rudder deflection, the margin of torque available over 
 torque required at the higher speeds is not large in anj 
 case . 
 
 It would thus appear desirable from the foregoing 
 considerations to employ both aile^'on and rudder 
 ODeratlng mechanism.s m.ore conservative v/ith regard 
 to torque available. 
 
 Rudder failure .- During a routine Inspection of the 
 bomb upon coinple tlon of a test run It was found that 
 failure of one of the rudders had occurred along the 
 
10 
 
 spot-welded skin joint at the hinge axis. Up to the 
 time the fail^ire v/as discovared 33 test runs, each of 
 about [j.5 T^iinu'^^es dM.ration, had been cornp?et9d. The 
 failure appeared to be due to fatigue. Figure 52 is a 
 photograph of tha broken rudder. 
 
 ;oi:glusion^ 
 
 Aorod^'namic tests cf a 1000-pound AZON bomb at 
 Mach nuiiibers ranging f"oir 0.2 to 0,6 have indicated 
 the following conclusions: 
 
 1. There we:^e no urpreciable compressibility effects 
 on the rudder hinge-moment coefficients, the yawing- 
 moraent coefr'icients , or on the lateral-force coefficients < 
 The drag coefficients increased gi'adually but no sudden 
 increases occurred. 
 
 2, Reiiioval of the antenna struts from the tail had 
 only a slight effect on the aerodynamic characteristics. 
 
 5. The torques supplied by the rudder and aileron 
 operating mechanisms were foijjnd to be several times 
 the torques required at a Mach mimber of 0.6 at sea 
 level for iaaximuin conti'ol doflecbions. If no appreciable 
 increases In the liinge-moment coefficient occur between 
 M = 0,6 and M = 1.0, the available torque will be 
 adequate at a Mach mjutf'^er of 1.0, Becai^se of some 
 uncertainty regarding the hinge -morr.ent coefficient at 
 a = 1,0, however, it would appear desirable to employ 
 nidder and aileron operating mechanisms having greater 
 available torque.
