Abstract
A comprehensive presentation of advanced wind-tunnel techniques and facilities used in aircraft store carriage and delivery studies is presented. Extensive static stability, control, and metric store tests aid in predictions of aircraft performance and structural requirements. Investigations with scaled dynamic models are used to determine the flutter boundaries and aeroelastic effects caused by large store aerodynamic and inertia forces. Methods used to obtain mutual aerodynamic interference of wing-pylon-st ore combinations and external store aerodynamic interference on control surface effectiveness are described. State-of-theart scaled dynamic separation and captive trajectory systems, their current and potential capabilities and limitations, are discussed. The quality of wind-tunnel simulation, in the general sense, is discussed and present limitations and potential improvements are pointed out.
