This test was conducted in support of a program to develop a generalized analytical method for predicting the separation characteristics of stores from a high-speed aircraft (parent body). The tests were conducted in the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility (VKF), Tunnel A, at nominal Mach numbers of 1.5, 1.76, 2.0, and 2.5 at a nominal free-stream Reynolds number of 4 x 10 to 6th power per foot. The test program involved three phases, namely flow-field surveys using a cone probe rake to determine local flow-field angles and velocity, pressure distributions on the store as it separated from a parent body, and six-component force and moment data on the store. The tests were conducted at angles of attack of zero and five degrees. This document contains a detailed description of the calibration procedure for the 20-deg half-angle cone probes and the method used to evaluate the local flow-field properties from the cone probe surface pressure and pitot pressure measurements. Also included is a comparison of integrated pressure data with the force and moment data obtained on the storebody by a balance. (Author).
