Project 5.5 = In-Flight Participation of FeS4F Aircraft - Lt R. F,. Mitchell
Lt J. A. Sabatella
Objective
Waiter (Capabilities F-84F) - This participation was an attempt to
determine the capability of the F~S4F aircraft by subjecting it to both
thermal and symmetric blast loads,
Barley (Sideloads F-84F) = The objective of this participation was
to study the dynamic response of fighter structures to anti-symmetric
blast loads,
Instrumentation
Waiter = 100 data channels were available to record moment, shear,
and torsion loads; accelerations; overpressure; temperature; thermal strain;
and aircraft attitude.
All of the chamels were successfully recorded,
Barley = Out of the 100 channels available torecord essentially
the same information as above, there were 5 channels that failed.
In add-
ition, the two fireball cameras were inoperative.
