Overall design technology of airborne test pod for a photoelectric reconnaissance camera
To meet the requirements of flight test verification for a certain photoelectric reconnais-sance camera,the overall design and optimization of the airborne test pod are studied.The technical requirements for photoelectric reconnaissance camera testing are analyzed,the overall design of the pod is carried out,and the aerodynamic configuration of the pod is designed and optimized by CFD numerical calculation.The whole aerodynamic characteristics and aerodynamic loads of the podded aircraft are simulated,and the influence of the podded aircraft on the flight performance and maneu-verability are evaluated.The pod structure adopts a"three-stage"layout design,which meets the installation and maintenance requirements of photoelectric reconnaissance camera.The flight test re-sults indicate that the overall design technology of the airborne test pod is reasonable,which can provide reference for the hanging flight test of relevant optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment on the airborne platform.
