Extension of the Method for Predicting Six-Degree-of-Freedom Store Separation Trajectories at Speeds Up to the Critical Speed to Include a Fuselage with Noncircular Cross Section. Volume II - Users Manual for the Computer Programs.

Abstract

Detailed instructions are presented for using two computer programs which calculate the six-degree-of-freedom trajectories of external stores which are separated from fighter-bomber type aircraft at speeds up to the critical speed. Single and multiple store configurations can be handled by the programs. The first program calculates the source distributions which represent the volume distributions of the fuselage, store(s), and ejector rack if one is present. The second program uses a lifting-surface theory to determine a vorticity distribution which represents the wing and pylon loading and calculates the trajectory of the ejected store. This report describes the two programs, presents instructions for preparing input for the programs, describes the output from each program, and presents sample cases.
