An efficient empirical approach was developed to accurately represent the blast shock wave loading resulting from the launch of a\nmissile from a military aircraft to be used in numerical analyses. Based on experimental test series of missile launches in laboratory\nenvironment and from a helicopter, equations were derived to predict the time- and position-dependent overpressure.The method\nwas finally applied and validated in a structural analysis of a helicopter tail boom under missile launch shock wave loading.
