An Investigation of the Flow Field of the A-7D Aircraft with Several External Store Loadings at Mach Numbers 0.70 and 0.95

Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were conducted using 0.05-scale models to study the flow field of the A-7D aircraft with several different external store load configurations. The flow-angularity data were obtained at selected axial, lateral, and vertical positions under the inboard, center, and outboard pylons of both wings of the aircraft. Parent aircraft angles of attack were 2, 6, and 10 deg at zero sideslip for free-stream Mach numbers of 0.70 and 0.95.
