Flow Field Characteristics Beneath the F-4C Aircraft at Mach Numbers 0. 50 and 0.85

Abstract

Tests were conducted to investigate the flow field characteristics beneath the F-4C aircraft at high subsonic speeds. A conical-tip probe was used to measure the velocity-vector components in the region near the aircraft at Mach numbers 0.50 and 0.85. Aerodynamic force and moment data were obtained on a model of the M-117 bomb both near the aircraft and in the free stream to further evaluate the flow field. Data were obtained with a clean-wing aircraft configuration and with several combinations of M-117 bombs on the inboard wing- pylon station plus a fuel tank on the outboard wing-pylon station.
