Store Separation Trajectory Analysis.

Abstract

A series of store drops was made at moderate to high subsonic speeds with the same configuration on the center position of a triple ejector rack on an F-4 inboard pylon. The data were compared with wind tunnel and mathematical simulations. Both estimation techniques predicted the general nature of the motion, especially at low speeds, but failed to predict a minor collision observed at high speed. (Author)
