[0032] The drag reduction plate has the same shape as the surface of the boost stage, and is integrated with the boost stage when the drag reduction plate is closed, and the upper part of the drag reduction plate matches the shape of the load when the drag reduction plate is opened.
[0033] The sliding block is a main active component, and drives the support rod to open the drag reduction plate; in the embodiment of the present application, the sliding block is driven by a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0036] A design method for a drag reduction stabilizing device for a supersonic rocket sled, the flow chart is as shown in Figure 1 The following steps are adopted:
[0037] Step (1) determines the component parts and layout scheme of the drag reduction stabilizing device based on the shape of the boost stage of the rocket sled and the relative position of the load and the boost stage; in step (1), the drag reduction plate and other mechanisms are designed according to the boost stage of the rocket sled, wherein the drag reduction plate is integrated with the boost stage in a closed state, does not affect the aerodynamic shape of the boost stage, and is opened by the power sliding block.
[0038] Step (2) uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the working process of the rocket sled under supersonic conditions to determine the effectiveness of the drag reduction stabilizing device.
[0039] In step (2), the supersonic rocket sled model is established to simulate the working process of the drag reduction stabilizing system, and the drag reduction stabilizing effect is determined according to the drag force received by the load and the pressure distribution in the abdomen. The greater the reduction in load drag, the more balanced the pressure distribution in the abdomen, and the better the drag reduction stabilizing effect. In the computational fluid dynamics simulation results established in step (2), when the rocket sled moves at a speed of 1.6Ma, the drag reduction stabilizing device is deployed to reduce the drag received by the load and improve the stability at the moment of separation.
[0040] The drag reduction stabilizing device in step (1) is as described above. The device is installed between the booster stage and the load of the rocket sled and includes a drag reduction plate, a support rod, and a sliding block. The drag reduction plate has the same shape as the surface of the booster stage, and when the drag reduction plate is closed, it is integrated with the booster stage. When the drag reduction plate is opened, its upper part matches the shape of the load. The sliding block is a driven moving part that drives the support rod to open the drag reduction plate. The support rod is used to connect the sliding block and the drag reduction plate to drive the drag reduction plate to open and close.
[0041] In this example, the rocket sled moves at a speed of 1.6Ma, and the drag received by the load without deploying the drag reduction plate is 10800N, and there are two pressure peaks in the abdomen due to shock wave reflection. After deploying the drag reduction plate, the drag received by the load is 8600N, and the pressure peak in the abdomen is only one, and the drag reduction stabilizing effect is ideal. Figure 5 The pressure distribution curve in the abdomen of the load when the drag reduction stabilizing device is closed. Figure 6 The pressure distribution curve in the abdomen of the load when the drag reduction stabilizing device is opened.
[0042] In summary, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
