The purpose of the paper is to discuss various trends in the design of tactical missiles which influence the future directions of missile aerodynamics. Some of the subjects discussed include airframe-inlet interference, high angle of attack problems, waveriders, efficient hypersonic missiles, computational fluid dynamics applied to missile aerodynamics, aerothermal design and supersonic stores. A number of specific areas where increased emphasis is needed in missile aerodynamics are suggested. (Author)
