Hailstone impact simulator.The hailstone impact simulator was constructed to provide experimental data in support of a program to develop the analytical methods for predicting hail damage to aircraft structures. This paper describes the simulator, its operation, the type of data obtained, and the resulting damage by individual hailstones to metallic flat sheets and spherical caps. Simulated hailstones of 1.3, 2.5, 3.8, and 5.1 cm in diameter were used at impact velocities of 60 to 600 m/s.
