(MOHAWK ) yy Project 5,3 - In-Flight Participation of a B-66B ~ R. W. Bachman OBJECTIVE The primary objective of th est was to measure the gust and high Q field effects on a B-66B aircraft in low altitude flight. INSTRUMENTATION 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 on the R.H. wing; 25 strain gages at 4 stations and 12 T.C, at 2 stations on the L.H. horizontal stabilizer; 9 strain gares at 1 station and 2 T.C. at 1 station on the R.H, horizontal stabilizer; 3 strain gages at 1 station and 9 T.C. at 3 stations on the L.H, elevator; 2 strain gages at 1 station and 6 T.C. at 1 station on the R.H. elevator; 24 T.C. at 9 stations on the fuselage; 26 channels of engine information; 3 pressure pickups on the wing; 3 pressure pickups on the empennage; and 9 pressure pickups on the fuselage; 17 accelerometers on the fuselage, empennage and nacelle; 16 calorimeters and 2 radio-= meters in the tail; 3 calorimeters in the fuselage belly; wing and tail deflection cameras; 32 basic aircraft flight instruments on a photo recorder panel; and & channels of correlation data. ATRCRAFT POSITION IN SPACE Using the K-5 radar system, the B-66B was positioned at an altitude of 6,000 feet, on a heading of 050 derrees, and a horizontal range of 12,700 feet at time zero, At time of shock arrival, the horizontal range was 28,400 feet, with the aircraft on the same heading and at the same altitude as before, er |Qut oreo! - * 36- é 2
