The objective of this project was to determine, through an experimental investigation, the structural response of the F-84F type aircraft when exposed during flight to the effects of a nuclear explosion. Specifically, the program was arranged to secure fundamental data on: (1) relationships between weapon yield, aircraftplacement, orientation, and aircraft structural responses; (2) resultant stresses caused by thermal radiation impinging upon the aircraft; (3) aerodynamic cooling effect; (4) magnitude and effect of skin temperature rise with varying angle of incidence; and (5) effect of asymmetrical loading on aircraft structure by a side blast.
