Angle of Attack
Velocity
Caused by mis-aligned projectile components Trim angle rotates with projectile body No dynamics stability problem for spinners (dispersion?) Trouble for finners W/O spin, trims force projectile to fly at an angle of attack When roll rate = yaw rate, angle of attack = Trim Angle x Amplification Factor! Can lead to Angle of Attack Induced Side Force, Side Moment & Roll Moment = Roll-Yaw Lock-In

CPNFin CNFin = 11.58
CG
(difficult to measure) Fin Trim Moment About CG = Separation x Normal Force Coeff x Angle = (23.47-13.19) x 11.58 x 0.1 = 11.9 cal-deg. Which is reacted by body 11.9 cal-deg = (Forebody CP-CG Separation) x CNBody x Angle = (13.19-2.59) x 3.36 x body = 35.62 body body = 0.33 deg. (Body Angle of Attack)
Assume: 0.1 Deg Fin Mis-alignment:
Total = (0.33x3.36)+(0.1x11.58)/(CNTotal) = 0.15 deg.
