Book Description
As a result of recent developments in aeronautics and ordnance, a need has arisen for tables of properties of the atmosphere at altitudes in excess of those covered by the existing standard tables (NACA Report No. 218). In order to satisfy this need, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics has adopted three temperature-height relationships and one composition-height relationship, and tables based oupon them have been prepared for pertinent properties of the upper atmosphere (from 20 to 120 kilometers in metric units, and from 65,000 to 393,700 feet in British units). In the absence of direct data, such as might be obtained by soundings with high-altitude rockets, the values adopted are based upon existing information obtained by indirect methods of certain quantities. As a consequence, the tables are only tentative.
