Title
-
Radome Rain Erosion Testing by Means of Supersonic Sleds
-
Description
-
A method is presented of determining the sled travel in a known artificial rain field required to obtain the same erosion damage (if any) encountered by a missile in free flight in any given natural rain. The conditions of test and the mathematics of simulation are discussed. Methods used to determine the "worst case" of erosion, which is used to determine the maximum sled travel, are shown, and methods of rain field sampling to obtain droplet size, distribution, and rainfall rate are given.
