The work is aimed to simulate the separation process of a GBU-31 bomb and empty 370 gal
fuel tank from an aircraft, using the 6–Degree Of Freedom (6-DOF) procedure and …

The suspension system of external stores of a military aircraft has reached the fatigue life
limit estimated during the design phase, however, some elements suggest that the duration …

In aviation, using external stores under the wings is a common method of carrying payload
or fuel. In some cases, the payload can be rigidly attached to the wing. However, stores must …

An analysis was made about the flow characteristics and the rocket motion during
supersonic separation of a air-launching rocket from the mother plane. The three …

Store separation analyses are carried out in order to estimate the safe separation envelope
for external stores carried on military aircrafts by varying the flight/ejection conditions …

Purpose This study aims to create 6-degree of freedom (SDOF) for computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) simulations of body movement, and to validate using the experimental data …

Modern fighter aircraft, together with their interceptor roles, are utilized as aerial bomb and
long-/short-range missile carriers. Separation of those external stores from aircraft is still a …

A numerical survey coupled with six degree-of-freedom flight simulation have been
undertaken to study the fuel tank separation trajectory, released from a trainer airplane. Two …

This work is concerned with concepts and some results regardine the problem of
aerodynamic interference in the system. The main emphasis is put on a practical, cost …

This work is part of a technical study of the French space agency CNES (Centre National
d'Etudes Spatiales) and the French aerospace laboratory Onera for the development of an …
