Published September 2014 Distribution and Availability on Back Cover NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATION AC/323(SCI-244)TP/571 www.sto.nato.int STO AGARDograph 300 AG-300-V29 Flight Test Technique Series – Volume 29 Aircraft/Stores Compatibility, Integration and Separation Testing (Essais de compatibilité, d’intégration et de séparation des emports sur aéronef) This AGARDograph has been sponsored by the Systems Concepts and Integration Panel. The NATO Science and Technology Organization Science & Technology (S&T) in the NATO context is defined as the selective and rigorous generation and application of state-of-the-art, validated knowledge for defence and security purposes. S&T activities embrace scientific research, technology development, transition, application and field-testing, experimentation and a range of related scientific activities that include systems engineering, operational research and analysis, synthesis, integration and validation of knowledge derived through the scientific method. In NATO, S&T is addressed using different business models, namely a collaborative business model where NATO provides a forum where NATO Nations and partner Nations elect to use their national resources to define, conduct and promote cooperative research and information exchange, and secondly an in-house delivery business model where S&T activities are conducted in a NATO dedicated executive body, having its own personnel, capabilities and infrastructure. The mission of the NATO Science & Technology Organization (STO) is to help position the Nations’ and NATO’s S&T investments as a strategic enabler of the knowledge and technology advantage for the defence and security posture of NATO Nations and partner Nations, by conducting and promoting S&T activities that augment and leverage the capabilities and programmes of the Alliance, of the NATO Nations and the partner Nations, in support of NATO’s objectives, and contributing to NATO’s ability to enable and influence security and defence related capability development and threat mitigation in NATO Nations and partner Nations, in accordance with NATO policies. The total spectrum of this collaborative effort is addressed by six Technical Panels who manage a wide range of scientific research activities, a Group specialising in modelling and simulation, plus a Committee dedicated to supporting the information management needs of the organization. • AVT Applied Vehicle Technology Panel • HFM Human Factors and Medicine Panel • IST Information Systems Technology Panel • NMSG NATO Modelling and Simulation Group • SAS System Analysis and Studies Panel • SCI Systems Concepts and Integration Panel • SET Sensors and Electronics Technology Panel These Panels and Group are the power-house of the collaborative model and are made up of national representatives as well as recognised world-class scientists, engineers and information specialists. In addition to providing critical technical oversight, they also provide a communication link to military users and other NATO bodies. The scientific and technological work is carried out by Technical Teams, created under one or more of these eight bodies, for specific research activities which have a defined duration. These research activities can take a variety of forms, including Task Groups, Workshops, Symposia, Specialists’ Meetings, Lecture Series and Technical Courses.

Under the direction of the Flight Test Panel (later the Flight Vehicle Integration Panel, or FVP) a Flight Test Manual was published in the years 1954 to 1956. This original manual was prepared as four volumes: 1. Performance, 2. Stability and Control, 3. Instrumentation Catalog, and 4. Instrumentation Systems. As a result of the advances in the field of flight test instrumentation, the Flight Test Instrumentation Group was formed in 1968 to update Volumes 3 and 4 of the Flight Test Manual by publication of the Flight Test Instrumentation Series, AGARDograph 160. In its published volumes AGARDograph 160 has covered recent developments in flight test instrumentation. In 1978, it was decided that further specialist monographs should be published covering aspects of Volumes 1 and 2 of the original Flight Test Manual, including the flight testing of aircraft systems. In March 1981, the Flight Test Techniques Group (FTTG) was established to carry out this task and to continue the task of producing volumes in the Flight Test Instrumentation Series. The monographs of this new series (with the exception of AG-237 which was separately numbered) are being published as individually numbered volumes in AGARDograph 300. In 1993, the Flight Test Techniques Group was transformed into the Flight Test Editorial Committee (FTEC), thereby better reflecting its actual status within AGARD. Fortunately, the work on volumes could continue without being affected by this change. An Annex at the end of each volume in both the AGARDograph 160 and AGARDograph 300 series lists the volumes that have been published in the Flight Test Instrumentation Series (AG 160) and the Flight Test Techniques Series (AG 300) plus the volumes that were in preparation at that time. STO-AG-300-V29 iii Aircraft/Stores Compatibility, Integration and Separation Testing (STO-AG-300-V29) Executive Summary This AGARDograph focuses on aircraft/stores compatibility, integration and separation testing issues that have to be executed during the integration of existing or newly developed store on to new or existing military aircraft. One of the key differences between civilian and military aircraft is that many military aircraft have the ability to carry and release weapons. From the earliest days of aviation, when the pilot would drop simple bombs by hand, engineers have striven to develop the capability to accurately deliver weapons against targets reliably and safely. However, the general understanding about the modern warfare is accustomed to focus on the missile and its capabilities mostly, considering that the weapon is a substantive system; the people involved in integration business are profoundly aware that the weapon and the launch aircraft forms a complex system together in which the performance of each individual component depends on the performance of the other one. The weapon can only achieve its designated performance, if the transactions on the launch aircraft required for the integration are done accurately. The integration of weapons on aircraft requires evaluation of multiple topics related to different disciplines such as aerodynamics, structures, avionics/software maintenance, electro-magnetic interactions, flight test instrumentation, ground and flight tests. In addition to compatibility concerns, the release of a weapon creates issues such as the ability of the specific store to achieve safe separation and the ability of the aircraft structure to withstand the imparted loads during the ejection of store from pylon or launching phase in the presence of aircraft flow field. The number of subjects to cover is increased when the requirements for all the phases of integration process are considered. The execution of integration activities in a correct and complete manner is the solution of these concerns. This document discussed the importance, order and ways of different test techniques for aircraft/weapon compatibility, integration and release issues. Moreover, defined expected minimum report contents that today’s weapon systems test organizations require. Defining the engineering data package requirements, it also provided guidance to ensure the requirements for airworthiness are fulfilled. iv STO-AG-300-V29 Essais de compatibilité, d’intégration et de séparation des emports sur aéronef (STO-AG-300-V29) Synthèse Le présent AGARDograph porte sur la compatibilité entre les aéronefs et les emports, les essais d’intégration et de séparation qui doivent être réalisés pendant l’intégration d’une arme existante ou nouvelle sur les aéronefs militaires nouveaux ou existants. L’une des différences essentielles entre les aéronefs civils et militaires est qu’un grand nombre d’aéronefs militaires ont la capacité de transporter et délivrer des armes. Dès les débuts de l’aviation, alors que les pilotes larguaient encore de simples

"Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God."

  • F35C Joint Strike Fighter Additive Manufacturing Tailhook Redesign
    F­35C Joint Strike Fighter Additive Manufacturing Tailhook Redesign 4/24/16 Submitted to Lockheed Martin Representative Team EDSGN 100, Section: 23 Group 4: Kiran Judd, James Harris, Madeline Woody, and Zach Ceneviva Abstract: The objective for the project was to design, prototype, and manufacture an effective ​ redesign of the Lockheed Martin F­35C tailhook, utilizing additive manufacturing. The F­35C tailhook, like many other subtractive manufactured parts, suffers from a waste of excess material and limitations when creating advanced designs. The main question relating to the current process is how does one eliminate the total amount of material used, while still retaining the original strength? For this reason, when designing the prototype material reduction, affordability, accessibility in the field, effectiveness, and durability were treated with the utmost importance with respect to design criteria. After the printing of the prototype, it was necessary to test the design criteria in order to see if the efficiency and reliability met the desired goals for the tailhook. The tailhook prototype did not pass all of the set criteria for its design, but performed especially well when compared to the set criteria for the durability. Although the initial prototype performed well during the durability test, it did not perform as well as hoped within the material reduction, affordability, and effectiveness categories. These areas proved to be lacking, leading to corrections which would later lead to the improved second prototype, created by the team. Following the improvements implemented within the second prototype, an effective, durable tailhook was created utilizing additive manufacturing processes. Table of Contents Introduction Pg.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The arresting dynamics of the aircraft on the aircraft carrier involves both a transient wave propagation process in rope and a smooth decelerating of aircraft. This brings great challenge on simulating the whole process since the former one needs small time-step to guarantee the stability, while the later needs large time-step to reduce calculation time. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a full-scale multibody dynamics model of arresting gear system making use of variable time-step integration scheme. Especially, a kind of new cable element that is capable of describing the arbitrary large displacement and rotation in three-dimensional space is adopted to mesh the wire cables, and damping force is used to model the effect of hydraulic system. Then, the stress of the wire ropes during the landing process is studied. Results show that propagation, reflection, and superposition of the stress wave between the deck sheaves contribute mainly to the peak value of stress.

Loftin, Arch McCleskey, Patricia Thomas Art Direction and Production: Anne G. Anderson This summer marks the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the Lockheed Hercules; a Volume 6, No. 3, July - September 1979 quarter century of service to nations throughout the world! Over 1,550 Hercules (C-130s Vol. 6, No. 3, July. September 1979 and L-100) have been delivered to 44 countries. We at Lockheed are very proud of this Contents: record and the reputation the Hercules has earned. It is a reputation built on depend- ability, versatility, and durability. 2 Focal Point The Hercules is a true workhorse. Many developing countries depend on it to carry all types of cargo, from lifesaving food to road-building equipment. They carry these cargoes to remote areas that are not easily accessible by any other mode of transporta- 3 tion. An additional advantage is its ability to land and take off in incredibly short 3 Crew Door Rigging distances, even on unpaved clearings. The tasks the Hercules is capable of accomplishing are almost limitless; from hunting hurricanes, to flying mercy relief missions. It is the universal airborne platform. And it is 14 Royal Norwegian Air Force energy-efficient, using only about half the fuel a comparable jet aircraft would require. 15 One of the more interesting aspects of these 25 years is that while the external design of 15 Hydraulic Pressure Drop the aircraft has changed very little, constant improvements in systems and avionics equip- ment have made the world’s outstanding cargo airplane also among the world’s most modern.
