This paper presents a summary of the experimental supersonic store separation studies that have been conducted at the NASA Langley Research Center. These studies have included investigations of rectangular box cavity flowfields, store separation tests of missiles from various cavity configurations, and tests of a passive venting system for improving the separation characteristics of stores from shallow cavities. Selected results from these investigations are presented which illustrate the types of cavity flowfields that exist at supersonic speeds and the effect of these flowfields and various cavity configurations on the separation characteristics of stores.
