DETERMINATION OF CAPTIVE FLIGHT LOADS AND SEPARATION TRAJECTORIES OF AIRBORNE STORES,

Abstract

A summary of the state-of-the-art in determining captive flight loads and separation trajectories of airborne stores is presented. The summary is based largely on a recent survey of appropriate aerospace concerns and government installations. Responses to the survey indicate that the present state-of-the-art does not allow an accurate general analytical solution to the problem except under the most idealized situations. Testing of the specific aircraft/store combination is therefore recommended unless the combination closely matches a previously tested combination for which data are available. (Author)
