Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 1/24-Scale F-111 Aircraft with Various External Stores at Mach Numbers from 0.5 to 1.3

Abstract

This report presents and discusses the results of transonic wind tunnel tests conducted to evaluate the effects of external stores on the aerodynamic characteristics of the F-111 aircraft at wing sweep angles of 26, 45, and 54 deg. The analysis includes evaluation of the incremental changes in the drag, static margin, and lateral-directional derivatives associated with the various store configurations. Wind tunnel coefficient data for a clean baseline configuration are also presented. Data are presented with pylons alone, GBU-10, GBU-15CCW, GBU-15CCW with extended Pave Tack pod, AGM-65, Rockeye, SUU-30H/B, and MK-82SE stores. Data are presented for Mach numbers ranging from 0.5 to 1.3 at angles of attack from -2 to 16 deg at zero sideslip angle, and for sideslip angles from -10 to 10 deg at angles of attack of 5, 10, and 15 deg.
