This study investigates the drag coefficient of three models of suborbital rockets with different nosecones. A test section allowing for force measurement of a 1:50 scale rocket model was designed with the aid of numerical simulations. The velocity obtained in the wind tunnel corresponds with a Mach number of 2.45. RANS simulations were used in verifying operating parameters, as well as testing the support configurations for connecting the model with the bottom wall of the tunnel section. Pressure distribution measurements on the top and bottom walls of the wind tunnel matched simulation results well. The shock structure in the test section was visualized using the schlieren technique, revealing that the measured angle of the main shock generated at the tip of the rocket matched the simulation data. Finally, the measured forces were compared with simulations for one of the nosecone configurations. Despite very good agreement for pressure distribution on the wind tunnel walls and shock structure, a significant mismatch in the forces measured was nevertheless observed: the simulated CD (0.57) being four times larger than that obtained in measurements (0.138). Further analysis of the test section is required to pinpoint the source of discrepancies and redesign the force measurement system to achieve improved force results.
