Data Reduction Algorithms for Store Separation Grid Testing

Abstract

Store separation testing is undertaken to ensure that stores can be safely released from aircraft in flight. Grid testing in wind tunnels produces data that can be used to predict store separation behaviour. This document describes the algorithms used to prepare test plans for store separation grid testing and to reduce grid data to the form required for analysis. The information is presented in a general form, and may also provide a useful reference for other forms of wind tunnel testing.
