Book excerpt: Abstract: An investigation of the Reynolds number for transition and the skin-friction drag at zero lift of eight cone-cylinder bodies having varying fineness ratios has been made at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 over a Reynolds number range from 0.3 x 106 to 10 x 106. The accuracy of the skin-friction data was not sufficient to permit any general conclusions to be drawn. The Reynolds number for transition was found to be dependent upon both the tunnel stagnation pressure and Mach number.
