Abstract
A summary method of correlating performance and weight parameters to yield an optimum missile design is discussed. A specific end use is selected to demonstrate the summary method described.
Accepting the premise: ‘Minimum weight requirements shall take precedence over ease of maintenance, easy and rapid installation of propulsion group and accessories and ease of installation’, a summary method of determining optimum weight is deve1oed to satisfy the basic design criteria.
