Bomb Rack Unit - 56

Abstract

Bomb Rack Unit (BRU)56 will solve a safety risk with the legacy BRU-56 ejector rack. The upgrade will alleviate the deficiency within the current ejector rack as well as add increased carriage capability. Prolonged use resulted in a deficiency with the rivets within the linkage of the rack. This caused failure in one 2003 Class A mishap, one 2010 Class C mishap and multiple ground mishaps. The BRU-56 modification avoids the bomb rack mishaps and the possibility of a catastrophic aircraft loss as well as the loss of life.
