Multiple-Image Silhouette Photography for the NOTS Aeroballistics Laboratory
A technique of multiple-image silhouette photography has been developed for the NOTS Aeroballistics Laboratory. Six or more silhouette images of missile models are imposed at a high rate upon a single photographic plate. A series of such plates is used in precision photogrammetry to determine the orientation and position of the models in transonic and supersonic flight. While neither stroboscopic nor silhouette photography is unique in itself, it is believed that the combination of the two, as described in this paper, is a new technique.
