Effects of stores on longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a fighter at supersonic speeds

Samuel M. Dollyhigh, G. Sangiorgio, W. J. Monta

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Experimental investigations of single and twin stores representative of advanced, elliptical cross section missile concepts were made at Mach numbers from 1.60 to 2.16 to substantiate theoretically predicted results. The stores were mounted on the fuselage of a model representing a fighter configuration. Store base closure effects in the carriage condition were also obtained through tests with and without base closure fairings.
