Airborne Stores Captive Flight Loads Computer Program

Abstract

Design loads computations for airborne stores is such a recurrent need that it became worthwhile to program the tedious task for digital computers. Two hanger configurations are treated: (1) the two-lug, four-sway- brace bomb rack common to U. S. stores, and (2) a statically determinate configuration often used for rail-launched missiles. Procedures recommended by MIL-A-8591 are used where applicable. Component hanger loads for stores subjected to arbitrary load conditions in captive flight are printed, and shear- moment distributions are plotted.
