F-102 HIGH-ALTITUDE FLAMEOUTS IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS
Abstract
It was determined that mixtures of ice crystals and other precipitation commonly found in the core of thunderstorms at high altitudes constitute an extreme operating hazard to F-102 aircraft. The hazard can be relieved to a large extent by the installation and use of a continuous ignition system. It is recommended that the hard core or main precipitation area of the storm be avoided.
