Figure 1 shows the line of fire
image using the measured aerodynamic values. The profile
of the lift coefficients of the body and tail on the angle of attack was known and would have given intolerable resistance at the Mach numbers of the A-4.
Fig. 1
Thus a very large
angle of attack, with intolerable resistance and
unfavorable lateral force distribution, would have been necessary for the Wasserfall rocket. Finally a requirement was identified for a subsonic angle of attack
of 15o and a supersonic angle of attack of 8o.
