Anyone know any sources of drag data on small airfoil sections in the Mach .75 to Mach 2.5 regime? Looking for sections and planforms that perform well for small rockets with short flight durations over Mach 1 (<10sec) but much longer at transsonic and subsonic speeds (20-30 sec.). Fins on these rockets would have spans and root chords less than 6" in length.
