Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several theoretical and empirical procedures are combined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on quite general wing-body geometries. The method is applicable for Mach number zero to three and angle-of-attack zero to about fifteen degrees. Computed results for several configurations compare well with experimental and other analytical results. It costs about five dollars per Mach number to compute the static aerodynamics of a typical wing-body shape on the CDC 6700 computer.

Donaldson and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploratory static-stability tests were made on models of the MK-84 weapon and a modular weapon configuration during simulated weapon separation from the wing of the F-4C Tactical Fighter Aircraft at freestream Mach numbers 1.76, 2.0, and 2.5. Data were obtained with the parent aircraft at zero angle of attack and the weapon at the carriage incidence angle of -1 deg. Supplementary data were obtained for weapon angles of attack of + or - deg. Unit Reynolds number ranged from 4.6 million per ft at M free stream mach number = 1.76 to 6.2 million per ft at M free stream mach number = 2.5. Selected results are presented which show the effects on the weapon aerodynamic loads of free-stream Mach number, weapon angle of attack, weapon axial position, and the presence of other stores. Representative shadowgraph and schlieren photographs of the interference flow field are also presented. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review is given of the computer-related aerodynamic research carried out at Weapons Systems Research Laboratory over the past twenty years or so. During this period, three main digital computers have been in use, namely WREDAC, IBM 7090 and IBM 370. A notable peak in research activity occurred during 1975 to 1978 when the task Fluid Dynamics - Computing was in existence and the IBM 370 computer was available. This task has since been terminated. Potential applications of computational aerodynamics at Weapons Systems Research Laboratory extend to unguided bombs, bomblets, bullets, mortars, rockets and shells, as well as terminally corrected precision-guided weapons, gliding munitions, guided missiles, release of external stores from aircraft and carriage of external stores on aircraft.

Mattasits and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests were conducted in the Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel (4T) to evaluate the validity of weapon aerodynamics acquired from theoretical calculations which employed mathematical models to simulate actual test hardware and to assess the problems encountered during the separation of various weapon shapes, at transonic flight conditions, from the number one TER position. The data will also be used to aid in the development of a mathematical method for predicting store separation characteristics. Data were obtained at Mach numbers from 0.5 to 1.3. Force and pressure distribution measurements were obtained to assess the influence of angle of attack and both linear and angular store displacements from the carriage position. Store models were separated from a TER mounted on the inboard pylon of a half-span wing similar in planform to the wing of the F-4 aircraft. Data were obtained on 0.10-scale models of the M-117 and maximum volume bombs. Test results showed that large nose-down pitching-moment coefficients were encountered by all store models at the number one TER carriage position. Complete separation trajectories were obtained only at a Mach number of 0.5 for all 16-in.-diam store models. Decreasing store model diameter increased the maximum Mach number at which complete trajectories were obtained. (Author).

This book was released on 1972 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several theoretical and empirical methods are comgined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on bodies of revolution at subsonic, transonic, and supersonic Mach numbers. The body geometries can be quite general in that pointed, spherically blunt, or truncated noses are allowed as well as discontinuities in nose shape. Particular emphasis is placed on methods which yield accuracies of ninety percent or better for most configurations but yet are computationally fast. theoretical and experimental results are presented for several projectiles and a computer program listing is included an an appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This profusely illustrated and thoroughly researched book conveys a wealth of information” about the USAF’s B-1 bomber (Aviation History Magazine). When the B-52 Stratofortress entered operational service with the US Air Force in 1955, work was already underway on defining its successor. The B-70 Valkyrie, a Mach 3 jet bomber, was one option. Although two XB-70A prototypes flew, the B-70 never went into production. Out of the subsequent Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft program came the B-1A bomber, which flew at high speed and low altitude to evade enemy air defenses. But the B-1A was cancelled in favor of fitting the B-52 with cruise missiles. The B-1, known as the BONE, was revived in 1981 as the improved B-1B to boost American military power and serve as a symbol of American strength at the peak of Cold War tensions. The B-1B entered service in 1986 with several deficiencies. The resolution of most of these issues coincided with the end of the Cold War. After the Cold War, the B-1B lost its primary nuclear mission but remained relevant by transforming into a high-speed, long-range, high-payload delivery platform for conventional precision-guided munitions. The first combat use of the B-1B was in 1998 in Iraq. The BONE has proved a highly effective combat aircraft in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and the former Yugoslavia. This extensively illustrated book traces the BONE’s long development and operational history in detail. “A must-read book . . . a great reference for historians, pilots, engineers, and even policy makers. Both the writing and photos are excellent.” —Air & Space Power History
