Chrysler defense work in the 1950s

[edwest4]

I am most interested in hearing about any aircraft projects. I recently bought a copy of Hypersonic Aerodynamics by Robert Truitt, published in 1959. Stamped inside the book is the following: Chrysler Defense Engineering Technical Library. It contains formulas for calculating aerodynamic effects on missiles.


Thanks in advance.

While they worked rockets galore (first stage of the Saturn 1, Redstone missile, etc.) I doubt they did much in the way of aircraft design.

The Chrysler Jupiter and Redstone are two missiles that come to mind... and the VZ-6 flying platform. Apart from these I don't know.

Thank you both.
