Prediction of Supersonic Store Separation Characteristics. Volume II. Users Manual for the Computer Program.

Abstract

Detailed instructions are presented for using a computer program which calculates the six-degree-of-freedom trajectories of external stores which are separated from fighter-bomber type aircraft flying at supersonic speeds. Single store configurations can be handled by the program. The program uses linear potential-flow theory to model the wing and pylon loading and thickness. Three-dimensional line sources and line doublets are used to model the fuselage and store. The program also calculates the trajectory of the store as it separates from the aircraft. This report describes the program, presents instructions for preparing input for the program, describes the output from the program, and presents a sample case. The program draws heavily on an earlier program for subsonic speeds written by the present authors and described in AFFDL-TR-74-130. (Author)
