Data Report for an Extensive Store Separation Test Program Conducted at Supersonic Speeds.
Abstract
This report describes an extensive store separation test program conducted at Mach number range covering 1.5 to 2.5. The purpose of the program was to provide a systematic set of data which could be used to evaluate and improve analytical techniques for predicting supersonic store separation trajectories. Parent aircraft configurations tested ranged from a simple circular body, mid-wing configuration without pylons and racks to a noncircular fuselage with wing, flow through engine inlets, and pylons and racks. The parent configuration was built up component by component so model component effects could be isolated. Flow-field survey, store pressure-distribution, store force-and-moment and store trajectory data were obtained. The store tested were circular and elliptical in cross section with various fin arrangements. The data obtained during five wind-tunnel entries are summarized in this report. The data have been collected on magnetic tapes and FORTRAN computer programs have been written which retrieve the data from the tapes. This report also describes the use of these programs and tapes and describes the tabulated output from the programs. (Author)
