Air-On Demonstration of the AEDC PWT Tunnel 16T Captive Trajectory Support System.

Abstract

An air-on demonstration of the Captive Trajectory Support (CTS) system was conducted in the AEDC Propulsion Wind Tunnel (16T). The test objectives were: (1) to demonstrate the structural integrity of the CTS system; (2) to demonstrate the ability of the CTS system to satisfactorily obtain grid and trajectory generation data for a typical store model in free stream and relative to a simulated (flat plate) aircraft in a dynamic wind tunnel environment; (3) to obtain a Mach number calibration for the Tunnel 16T Cart 2 (Multipurpose Cart) with the CTS system installed. The 1/4-scale Maximum Volume Bomb (MVB) was used to represent a typical store. Data were obtained at free-stream numbers from 0.6 to 1.6 and at various compressor ratios. Keywords: Captive trajectory, Transconic flow.
