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

Abstract

Force and moment data were obtained with a 0.05-scale model of the F- 4D aircraft at Mach numbers from 0.75 to l.30 to determine the effects of different store and rack configurations on the static stability and drag of the aircraft. Six proposed rack launchers and four proposed store shapes were tested for a total of 57 external loading configurations.
