Aerodynamic Loads and Separation Characteristics from the F-4C for the MGGB MK-II Guided Weapon at Mach Numbers 0.7 to 1.3
Abstract
Wind tunnel tests were conducted using 0.05-scale models to study the aerodynamic loads and separation characteristics from the F-4C aircraft for the MGGB MK-II store. The aerodynamic characteristics of the store were determined at free-stream conditions and at selected locations in the parent aircraft flow field. Carriage-loads data were obtained at the inboard pylon positions for aircraft angles of attack from -2 to 16 deg at parent sideslip angles of 0, 4, and 9 deg. Data were also obtained up to 20 ft away from the inboard pylons for aircraft angles of attack from 0 to 7 deg at zero sideslip. The separation trajectories were initiated from the inboard pylons for store tail fin deflection angles of 0, 20, and -20 deg at simulated altitudes of 5000 and 40, 000 ft. All data were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.7 to 1.3 with the store wings in the closed position (88-deg sweep angle).
