Summary

In a series of wind tunnel tests, measurements were made of the aerodynamic loads acting on eight different store configurations supported in and near the external captive position on a 1/20-scale model of the F-4C aircraft. Store models included blunt and contoured afterbody shapes, stable and unstable configurations, and large (pylon-mounted) and small (rack-mounted) configurations. Six components of forces and moments were measured using two methods of supporting the store models: an internal bracket support technique (IBS), and a dual sting support technique. Some characteristics of the interference flow field of the aircraft were also inferred.
