Longitudinal Static Stability and Drag Characteristics of A-7D and F-4E Aircraft with Various External Store Configurations at Transonic Speeds

Abstract

Longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of 0.05-scale models of A-7D and F-4E aircraft were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.50 to 1.30 to determine the effects of store configuration and location on stability and drag. Prototypes, as well as a family of proposed store configurations, were tested.
