Year 2000 Sandia Science photo gallery

Footage of 1988 rocket-sled test.

The purpose of the test was to determine the impact force, versus time, due to the impact, of a complete F–4 Phantom onto a massive, essentially rigid reinforced concrete target (3.66 meters thick). The test was not intended to demonstrate the performance (survivability) of any particular type of concrete structure to aircraft impact. The impact occurred at the nominal velocity of 215 meters per second. The mass of the jet fuel was simulated by water; the effects of fire following such a collision was not a part of the test. The test was performed by Sandia National Laboratories under terms of a contract with the Muto Institute of Structural Mechanics, Inc., of Tokyo.
