Missile Scale Data

Missiles

Peter Alway's Home Page	I have not published missile data commercially, but I have been accumulating scale data on them nonetheless. Some of my missile drawings have appeared in Sport Rocketry magazine. I have also been working on a series of booklets for NARTS, the National Association of Rocketry's Technical Service. The Nike Hercules is available in the currently available "Fourteen US Army Missiles of the Cold War." Others will appear in subsequent books. These drawings were converted from my original MacDraw documents into 72 pixel-per-inch gif images. Windows machines may print them at 75 pixels per inch--4% smaller than the scales indicate. "STA" numbers refer to distance from nose tip, tail end, or some other reference point along the rocket. The symbol that looks like an O with a line through it means diameter.
