The Rapid Prediction of Aircraft Store Loading Distributions at Transonic Speeds. Part II.
Abstract
An account is provided for the progress made in the development of an engineering predictive method for determining loading distributions on external stores located in the three-dimensional transonic flow field of a parent aircraft. Attention has been directed toward developing accurate but rapid methods for predicting store loadings in transonic flow fields generated by wing-body/pylon combinations representative of modern fighter-bomber aircraft. Detailed evaluations, based on extensive comparisons with experimental data obtained from a parallel wind-tunnel test phase of the program, are presented for two store loading prediction methods. Results are provided for various wing-body/pylon/store configurations for flow conditions throughout the transonic regime.
