The number of stores released simultaneously from aircraft store stations. 3.1.45. Operatinq limitation. Carriage, employment, and jettison envelopes detailing acceptable airspeed, mach, altitude, g, roll rate, wing sweep, speed brake operation, delivery angles, release modes, and minimum release intervals as required for a specified aircraftlstores configuration. 3.1.46. Pairs. The simultaneous separation of stores from two separate stations on an aircraft. 3.1.47. Ripple (or train).
The separation of two or more stores one after the other in a given sequence at a specified interval. 3.1.48. Quantity. The total number of stores selected for release by an aircraft 3.1.49. Release. The intentional separation of a free-fall store from its suspension equipment, for purposes of employment of the store. 3.1.50. Safe arminqlsafe arminq separation. The selection of a minimum safe arming distance or fuze arm time setting that will provide the delivery aircraft acceptable protection from weapon fragmentation if early detonation should occur. 3.1.51. Safe escape.
Safe escape is the set of flight conditions (altitude, speed and engagement range) that will provide the delivery aircraft acceptable protection from munition detonation downrange. 3.1.52. Safe separation. The parting of a store from an aircraft without exceeding the design limits of the store or the aircraft or anything carried thereon, and without damage to, contact with, or unacceptable adverse effects on the aircraft, suspension equipment, or other store both released and unreleased. 3.1.53. m. The simultaneous separation of stores from multiple stations on an aircraft. 3.1.54. Se~aration.
The terminating of all physical contact between a store and an aircraft; or between a store and suspension equipment. 3.1.55. Separation effects. A model of the weapon motion from the moment it is released until oscillations caused by the aircraft flow field are dampened. They are currently modeled as a function of release variables such as velocitylMach number, normal acceleration, angle of attack, and dynamic pressure. These coefficients may be incorporated into the ballistic tables andlor into a separation effects algorithm in the
