Abstract:

The esign and feasibility testing of a flight termination device for the Navy F9F aircraft are described. The device consists of a high pressure gas generator incorporated in the wing downlock pin hydraulic cylinder of the drone. By pulling the pin in flight the aircrafts wing will fold, thereby causing the aircraft to spin down to earth. The feasibility testing involved pulling the pin under a simulated wing load comparable to that experienced in flight. Author
