5 The External Store Classification System
Since the number of external store combinations
(even with a limited number of weapons) is very
large, Saab has developed an external stores
classification system with four different classes.
Combinations within the same class are
considered to have similar flight mechanical
characteristics. The classification formula is
based on mass, inertia and aerodynamic
parameters and result in one longitudinal and
one lateral value. These values are used in the
graph shown in figure 4. The borders between
each class are defined by a few extreme store
configurations. By concentrating the testing on
these, a limited number of stores could clear all
store configurations within each class. A buildup
towards critical configurations was made by
first testing stores from class I and II and finally
stores from class IV. The configurations used
during the final MLL limit tests are shown in
figure 4.
