Magnetic simulation of gravity.Investigation of the feasibility of a magnetically simulated gravity that could make it possible to simulate aircraft jettison processes in a wind tunnel. It is shown that coils capable to produce a thereto suitable magnetic field configuration do exist. Circumstances are defined for which multiple jettison releases may be simulated, and an approximate calculation for the errors due to magnetic field nonuniformities is presented.
