A 1/10-scale rocket model of the Lockheed XF-104 with faired inlets has been flown over a Mach number range from 0.80 to 1.45 to determine low-lift drag and a limited amount of stability data. The center-of-gravity locations were 4.0 and 1.5 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord before and after sustainer firing, respectively. Oscillations induced by pulse rockets were used to determine stability data. The external transonic drag coefficient increased from a value of 0.0160 at Mach number 0.80 to a maximum of 0.0432 near Mach number 1-13, with a drag rise Mach number of about 0.93. At Mach numbers where it could be determined, the model exhibited stable dynamic and static stability characteristics at low lift.
