PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF FIRE BOMBS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
Abstract
A fire bomb design based on the modification of the 165-gal. knockdown range-extension tank for the P-80 airplane, to incorporate external igniters enclosed within fairings at the nose and tail, will be satisfactory for the P-80, P-82, and P-86 airplanes, and possibly for the P-90 and subsequent fighter aircraft, and will be available for use in the shortest period of time.
