Separation Characteristics of the LAU-68A/A Rocket Launcher from the F- 4C and F-4E Aircraft at Mach Numbers from 0.37 to 0.90

Abstract

A wind-tunnel test was conducted using 0.05-scale models to study the separation characteristics of the LAU-68A/A Rocket Launcher (both full and empty) from the F-4C and F-4E aircraft. The separation trajectories were initiated from the left-wing inboard pylon station utilizing the Triple Ejection Rack. The flight conditions simulated were Mach numbers from 0.37 to 0.90 at an altitude of 5000 ft. All test conditions were with the parent aircraft in unaccelerated, level flight.
