dc.description.abstract	Wind-tunnel tests at M = 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 are described in which the effect of mounting a stem, with different nose pieces, on the forward face of a bluff-nosed body is studied. The drag on the front face of the body was derived from pressure measurements for different projections of the stem. Schlieren equipment was used and several interesting phenomena observed in the flow are discussed, in particular a flow oscillation resembling that which sometimes occurs with centre-body intakes.	en_US
