Separation Characteristics of the CTU-1/A, Finned BLU-1C/B, and CBU-24B/B Stores form the A-7D Aircraft at Mach Numbers 0.42 to 1.05
Abstract
Wind tunnel tests were conducted using 0.05-scale models to study the separation characteristics of the CTU-1/A, finned BLU-1C/B, and CBU-24B/B stores from the A-7D aircraft. Separation trajectories of the CTU-1/A store were initiated from the left and right wing outboard pylons while separation trajectories of the finned BLU-1C/B and CBU-24B/B munitions were initiated from a multiple ejection rack on the left and right wing center pylons. Data were obtained at Mach numbers 0.42 to 1.05 at simulated altitudes of 500 to 8000 ft. Other simulated flight variables included store weight and center-of-gravity position, dive angle, and ejector force.
