PREPRODUCTION TESTING OF THE FAIREY AVIATION MN-1A PRACTICE BOMB DISPENSER

Abstract

Testing of the Fairey Aviation Corporation MN-1A Trainers was performed by AFSWC at the request of the Royal Canadian Air Force, for the purpose of establishing the Fairey Aviation Corporation as a qualified producer of the MN-1A Trainer. The tests were made in general accordance with Mil-T 25812A and Mil-E-5272C, and included vibration, acceleration, and shock testing, and exposure to certain climatic conditions critical to the operation of the dispensers. Three sample trainers, numbered FAC-1, FAC-2, and FAC-3, were used. To expedite testing, each of the samples was subjected to a portion of the specified test re quirements. The tests indicated a need for a number of improvements in the original design.
