Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the rolling effectiveness of deflected fins, flaps, spoilers, and jet devices which may be employed on fin-stabilized vehicles. The possible applications and some of the significant factors affecting the performance of each device are described. The experimental information has been published previously and was obtained chiefly from free-flight tests of fin-stabilized vehicles at Mach numbers up to approximately 2.0. Comparisons are made in some cases with existing theory, which is also relied upon to indicate trends where data are not available.
