Abstract
The aerodynamics of conical bodies with a star-shaped cross section have been experimentally investigated over a broad range of variation of the parameters determining their geometry at a free-stream Mach number M=6. The position of the center of pressure of star-shaped bodies with an optimum trailing edge shape is investigated in relation to similarity parameters previously obtained theoretically. A correspondence is established between the derivatives of the normal force with respect to the angle of attack for pyramidal star-shaped bodies and bodies with the optimum trailing edge.
