Various combinations of cartridge and orifice were applied for ground ejection tests of a gliding bomb model equipped with a new guidance kit. Larger diameter of orifice made larger ejection force at each of bomb racks. Normal operations of the wing deploying mechanism and the devices inside of the bomb model were confirmed. Also high speed video data showed that pitch angle of the gliding bomb varied due to the ejection force.

The mounted store on an aircraft shall be subjected to an ground separation test to verify that a safe separation has been made before it is actually installed to the aircraft. In this study, ground ejection test was conducted with dummy missile to verify the stability of the drop on the land. Bomb rack unit essential to testing ground ejection test, operate at high pressure and produce a significant ejection force to push the missile away from any large orifice. Bomb rack unit modified their bombe pressure and orifice diameter to photograph the drop movement of dummy missile with high-speed camera and to analyze their drop displacement and speed. It is considered useful to provide the initial data for the ejection force analysis on aircraft with actual flight and to carry out the ground separation tests of aircraft with future developments.
