TESTRIMEFTATION
Instrumentation on the B-66B for this shot consisted of the following:
67 strain gages at 5 stations and 26 T.C, at 7 stations on the L.H. wing;
16 strain gages at 1 station and 6 T.C. at 2 stations om the R.A. wings
2% otrain gages at 4 stations and 12 7.C. at 2 stations om the L.A. hori-

sontal stabiliser; 9 strain garee at 1 station and 2 T.C. at 1 station on
the R.H, borisontal stabiliser; 3 strain gages at 1 station end 9 T.C. at
4 stations on the L.H. elevator; 2 strain gages at 1 station and 6 T.C.
at 1 station on the A.M. elewator; 24 1.C. at 9 etations on the fuselage;
26 channels of engine information; ? pressure plokupe on the wing; 3 pressure
Pickupe om the empennage; and 9 pressure pickupe op the ‘uselage; 17 accelerometers on the fuselage, empennage and nacelle; 1¢ oalorimetera and 2 radiometere in the tail; 3 calorimeters in the fuselage belly; wing and tail
deflection cameras; 32 basic aircraft flight instruments on a photo recorter

panel; and & channels of correlation date.

POSITION
Using the K-5 radar system, the B-€6B vas positioned at an altitude

of 6,000 feet, on a heating of 050 derrees, and a borisontal range of
12,700 feet at time serc,

At time of shock arrival, the horisontal range

was 28,400 fect, with the aircraft on the same beading and at the sane
altitude as before,
