GATOR/AV-8A Environmental Captive Flight Vibration Response Tests.

Abstract

A series of flights using an AV-8A aircraft and the GATOR weapon (Navy version, Mk 7 dispenser) were made. Vibration and acoustic responses were measured for this externally carried ordnance during typical flight conditions. Acceleration power spectral density plots are presented and test levels are recommended.
