PAN AIR Applications to Weapons Carriage and Separation

The PAN AIR technology has been used to analyze the complex flow phenomena associated with aircraft/weapons carriage and mutual interference during separation. Force, moment, and flowfield characteristics have been compared with experimental results for a fighter aircraft and a tangent ogive store. These comparisons were made for both the aircraft and store alone, as well as for the aircraft with the store in various separated conditions. The study has demonstrated the PAN AIR pilot code's unique capabilities to analyze complex aircraft and weapon configurations at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. c CD CL CP CM M ft v V vv x,y, z
