Sie Project 5.3 - In-flitht Participation of a B66 ~ R. W. Bachman [4 O jective The primary objective of this test was to measure thermal and gust effects of ‘CMMI:clear device on a B-66B aircraft. ~ § Instrumentation ¥ Instrumentation on the B-66 for the : FLATHEAD) shot consisted of 306 channels of information on strain, temperature rise, engine inform tion, pressure, acceleration, thermal radiation, and wind and tail deflection. In addition, 32 basic a/e flight instruments on a photo recorder - panel and 8 channels of correlation were used. Aircraft Position in Space Using the K~5 Radar System the B=66 was positioned at an altitude of 16,000 feet, on a heading of 100 degrees and a horizontal slant range of 17,800 at time zero, At time of shock arrival, the horizontal range was 59,100 feet with the aircraft on the same heading and altitude as before. Results Thermal: *gD Total thermal energy measured was ps Maximm temperature riss, vasBecrees F measured on the .016 white elevator panel,: ondgificcrees F measured on the nose radome, GustY Maximim gust loading at the time of shock arrival was 1.39 g's which is approximately 46.4 percent allowable limit for the B-66, The Dynamic magnification factor was 1.52, Overpressure: Operability: DELETED Of 295 total data recording channels, 97 percent were operable, ooe, cor! eRG LANL 45
