. = . 431 PYTHON (SRIF) Project 5.5 - In-Flight Participation of an P-84-F - lst Lt R. F. Mitchell OBIFrT IVE Sideloads F-84F - The objective of this participation was to atudy the dynamic response of fighter structure to anti-synmetric blast loads. SASTRIMENTATION Waiter - Instrumentation of primary concern consiste! of 37 thermocouples located in the right flap, right aileron, right wing, right stabiliser and the engine inlet and outlet. ¥ Correlaetive instrumentation consiste? of time sero fiducial signal, radioreter, and calorimeters located at Sta. 3¢, bottomside of the fuselage. Barley - The instrumentation consisted of strain gage bridges located at Sta. 90 and 15° on left ani right wing; Sta. 365 on the fuselage; Flt. Sta, 12 ard 35.5 on the left and right stabilizer and W.L, 20 and 53 on the fin. The forementioned strain gage tridges Fielded bending moment information, Structural responses vere related to energy inputs with overpressure transducers located on a nose boom and in the sides of the fuselage, A total of 100 channels of infor- Bation were capable of being recoriel. POSITION The aircraft was flying at an abeclute altitude of 6,060 feet on &n inbound heading of 050° 30' T at t,. The horisontal range and offset were - 8,083 feet and 12,024 feet respectively. The shook sr- rival position (at Hf 10.3 seconte) wes 6,060 feet altitude; 12,256 feet offset; and f 830 feet horisontal range, close to the intended positions, These positions vere very = COPY BEST ANAILEDS DU NLA RY LI B
