Equations for Store Separation Motion Simulations and Instrumented Model Data Reduction
Abstract
The mathematical equations of motion for ground simulation of the separation trajectories of stores from aircraft are developed in this document. The equations have application to both analytical and wind tunnel captive trajectory store separation testing. The equations of motion as presented here include features not previously available in AEDC analytical and wind tunnel simulations such as arbitrary aircraft maneuvers, more rigorous models of the specific pivot hardware used by some aircraft, and downrail motions with all components of kinematic acceleration (including Corlolis effects) modeled. The data reduction equations for free-falling instrumented store models are also included.
