The Structures Division has supported the HAVE BOUNCE program in the areas of modeling, instrumentation, and data reduction since its inception in the mid-1970s. This report documents the data gathered during the tests of the A-7D attack aircraft over rough runways at Whiteman Air Force Base, MO between December 5 and December 20, 1984. This data consists of time-history plots of the wing, center of gravity, and pilot's seat accelerations along with loads, pressures, and displacements on the landing gear, brake pressure, and aircraft velocity. A complete description of the test program is contained in the companion report AFWAL-TM-85-256. The aircraft was provided and supported by the 132nd Tactical Fighter Wing, Iowa Air National Guard. Two aircraft configurations were tested during this project: 24,500 and 42,000 pounds gross weight. These aircraft were tested over single and multiple bumps of 3-inch height and 78-foot length. The purpose behind this test program was to provide data on the aircraft's response to runway roughness, which could be used to validate computational models.
