As a member of the Chrysler Huntsville Theoretical Aerodynamics Group, Aerodynam­
ics Section, Mr. Bradley has conducted a theoretical analysis of the equations of motion for
a low-gravity test facility, describing the motion of a body under the influence of aerodynamic
and mechanical retarding forces and predicting the relative motion of a test package that is
free to move within the body, thus simulating near-zero gravity conditions; has aided in the
determination of the theoretical aerodynamic characteristics of reentry-type bodies, with
specific regard to static stability and de-spin methods; has conducted an extensive investiga­
tion to determine the theoretical aerodynamic characteristics of foreign, wire-guided anti­
tank missiles, involving the determination of missile aerodynamics from missile geometry,
including non-linear high-angle-of-attack effects and dynamics, for the transonic speed re­
gime; and has studied the problems associated with determining the aerodynamic loads in­
duced by a jet exhausting from a surface into a primary flow.

Before joining Chrysler, Mr. Bradley was employed as a senior aerodynamics project
engineer at the David Taylor Model Basin, in the Transonic Division of the Aerodynamics
Laboratory. His duties included theoretical and experimental aerodynamics in the transonic
speed range. As senior project engineer on numerous experimental investigations to deter­
mine the static aerodynamic characteristics of naval weapons systems, he managed projects
from preliminary planning through final report. His responsibilities included: research and
preliminary planning, supervision and coordination of design and construction of test model,
supervision of test program and reduction of the data, analysis of the final data and redesign
if required, and preparation of the final report. Mr. Bradley also performed research to
determine analytically the flow field associated with multiple external stores on aircraft; and
he aided in the programming of a method for theoretically predicting the static aerodynamic
characteristics of low-aspect-ratio missiles from missile geometry. (DTMB Aero. Report
112, June 1966.)

Before joining the Transonic Division, Mr. Bradley spent one year in the Design Branch
of the Technical Service Division of the Aerodynamics Laboratory, where he was responsi­
ble for design, supervision of detailed drawings, and coordination of construction of test mo­
dels for the subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic wind tunnel facilities of the
Aerodynamics Laboratory.
