I'm hoping to find some other AIAA members in my area to network with. I know IU doesn't have a strong engineering presence ...

Sure thing, I'll let you know. Over at the Missile Systems forums, Brian McGrath provided these texts as well: There are two classic missile textbooks that are of interest: Missile Aerodynamics, by Jack Nielsen (Now an AIAA publication) Missile Configuration Design, by S.S. Chin Other textbooks ...

Thanks for the reply Savas! I'm looking for depth and details similar to the Thomas R. Yechout's "Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics" (2nd Edition) but with a focus on missiles. I do have a Eugene Fleeman Missile Design text a colleague provided (published in the 90s) and covers a lot of top level ...

I have plenty of resources for airplanes' use of rudder, ailerons, and elevators but am unsure if they directly translate to a 4-fin axisymmetric missile.
