Flight trials with a Tornado aircraft to produce full scale experimental data for stores carriage loads, release trajectories and flow surveys are described. Among the instrumentation used for the tests were position transducers on all the aircraft control surfaces, a set of accelerometers and gyroscopes near the aircraft center of gravity, an inertial navigation system, the fuel state, the aircraft air data system and an additional air data system based on a pair of 5-hole conical yawmeters. A modular data acquisition system was used for the data capture. Aircraft and store instrumentation were proved and if necessary, calibrated in flight. Flow fields below pylons were measured using a specially constructed rig. The results show that flight trials provide high quality full scale data of stores during carriage and release.
