Note on some observed effects of rocket motor operation on the base pressures of bodies in free lightSome measurements of the effects of rocket-motor operation on base pressure were obtained incidental to other research on some bodies in free flight. These data are presented and qualitatively analyzed. The analysis indicates that jet effects on drag are of sufficient importance to deserve consideration in the design of jet motor nozzles, especially for aircraft and missiles where the thrust and drag are of the same order of magnitude. The base-pressure changes induced by the jet should be considered in the structural design of the outer body skin on the aft portion of fuselages containing jets. (author)
