Captive-Trajectory Store-Separation Characteristics of the SUU-51/B with Modified Tail Fins from the F-4C Aircraft

Abstract

A wind tunnel test was conducted using 0.05-scale models to study the separation characteristics of the SUU-51/B external store with modified tail fins from the F-4C aircraft. Captive-trajectory store-separation data were obtained for two store cg locations and for 10 store wing loading configurations. The separation trajectories were initiated from the right-wing inboard pylon station utilizing the Triple Ejection Rack and from the centerline pylon utilizing the Multiple Ejection Rack. The flight conditions simulated were Mach numbers from 0.66 to 0.90 at an altitude of 5000 ft. Parent aircraft dive angles of 0 and 45 deg were simulated.
