This paper presents a method for predicting aerodynamic interference loads on stores which are ejected or launched from the CF-18 aircraft at transonic flight conditions. A transonic small disturbance theory and an influence function method were employed to estimate interference loads. Predictions for the AIM-7 sparrow missile in the presence of a 330 gallon fuel tank on the aircraft centerline and 980 gallon fuel tanks on the inboard wing pylons are compared with wind tunnel test results. Corrections for sting effects are also included.
