M3F3CA: Fast-running, engineering-level, missile aerodynamic predictions for analysis and preliminary design. Axisymmetric bodies with up to three cruciform sections with fully deflectable fins. Based on high resolution, high angle-of-attack experimental data bases and advanced equivalent angel-of-attack concept. Includes nonlinear effects of body and fin vortices. Subsonic, transonic, supersonic Mach numbers; roll angle arbitrary. Estimates axial force and pitch plane dynamic derivative.
M3HAX: M3F3CA extended to 90 degree angle-of-attack, options for including effects of rotational rates and nonuniform flow.
These code efficiently predict accurate longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics and are essential for generating aerodynamic databases for flight simulations.
