Different methods allowing prediction of the separation behavior of external stores from an aircraft are presented. The separation of two different external fuel tanks from a Mirage 3 aircraft is shown, and the results of the different methods are compared. The separation behavior predicted by wind tunnel tests and computer calculations is confirmed with good accuracy in flight tests.
