Store Separation Testing Techniques at the Arnold Engineering Development Center, Volume 4. Description of Dynamic Drop Store Separation Testing

Abstract

Dynamic drop testing is a method of trajectory simulation whereby store models which are both geometrically and dynamically scaled are released in the wind tunnel air stream and the resulting trajectories are mapped photographically. Drop testing is often used when captive trajectory testing is not feasible or for final trajectory verification prior to flight tests.
