Aerodynamic Loads Data on the M-117 Bomb in the Flow Field of the Triple Ejection Rack at Mach Numbers from 0.5 to 1.3

Abstract

Experimental data were obtained to check the validity of store forces and moments acquired from theoretical calculations which employed mathematical models to simulate the M-117 bombs and the Triple Ejection Rack (TER). Data were obtained using 0.10-scale models of the physical geometry of the M-117 and TER, and using mathematically simulated geometries representing the M-117 and TER. Store force and moment data were obtained for each store geometry at various locations and orientations relative to the corresponding TER configuration. In addition, free-stream stability data and some separation trajectories were obtained for the M-117 model which represented the physical store geometry. Data were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.5 to 1.3 for the force and moment data, and from 0.5 to 0.8 for the separation trajectory data.
