External Store Airloads Prediction Technique. Volume 1. Technical Summary

Abstract

Presented is an empirical method to compute six-component captive store airloads for single and multiple carriage store configurations for an arbitrary aircraft. The method has the capability for computing the basic airload and the incremental airloads due to aircraft yaw and adjacent store interference. The single carriage method was developed for the Mach range 0.5 to 2.0 while the multiple carriage method is valid for the Mach range 0.5 to 1.6. Both single and multiple carriage methods were developed for the angle of attack range -4 to + 12 degrees and the aircraft yaw angle range -8 and +8 degrees. Comparisons between predicted and experimental data show generally good agreement. The report is presented in two volumes. Volume I is the technical summary report describing the program and approach used to develop the prediction technique. Volume II is the user's manual consisting of five separate books.
