Aerodynamic Loads and Separation Trajectories for Several Stores with the F-15 Aircraft at Mach Numbers from 0.6 to 1.3

A wind tunnel test was conducted at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.3 with 0.05-scale models of six stores and the F-15 aircraft. Extensive aerodynamic loads measurements were obtained for these stores in the aircraft flow field from the carriage position to 20 ft below the inboard pylon surfaces, with the majority of the data taken near the right-wing pylon. Aircraft angle of attack was varied from 0 to 10 deg. Separation trajectories were obtained for three of the stores at simulated altitudes from 5,000 to 18,000 ft at an aircraft angle of 0.5 deg. Free-stream characteristics for all stores were obtained with the aircraft model removed from the tunnel.
