| Abstract | Abstract : Tests were conducted in the Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel (4T) using 0.05- scale models to investigate the separation characteristics of the SUU-51 Laser- Guided Dispenser Munition (LGDM) from Triple Ejection Rack and Multiple Ejection Rack locations on the inboard and centerline pylons, respectively, of the F-4C aircraft. Captive-trajectory store separation data were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.66 to 0.90, angles of attack from 0.3 to 2.1, and a simulated altitude of 5000 ft. At selected test conditions, parent-aircraft dive angles of 30 and 45 deg were simulated. Free-stream force and moment data were also obtained on the SUU-51 (LGDM) model at Mach numbers from 0.66 to 0.95 at store angles of attack from -6 to 20 deg. Generally, the store initially separated from the parent aircraft without store-to-parent contact. However, most of the trajectories were terminated after short time intervals because of a rapid pitch and yaw motion of the store. This termination was the result of limitations imposed by the test installation, such as sting-to-parent-aircraft contact, a store support system travel limit, or a balance load limit. |
