RECOMMENDATION FOR FORWARD FIRING CAMERA FOR THE RF-8A AIRCRAFT.
Abstract
Through installation in Station No. 1 and subsequent flight tests, the APEL has evaluated the suitability of available camera equipment for forward firing use in the RF-8A aircraft. The installed camera equipment included the 3 inch and 6 inch CAX-12 cameras, the KA-45 and the KA-46 cameras, the 4 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch format Omera 30 camera, the Omera 30 camera reconfigured by J. A. Maurer to provide a 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch format and the CAX-3 camera equipped with an improved lens. In concurrence with VFP-62, the APEL recommends the current use of the KA-45 camera. In addition, the APEL recommends some design refinements to the installation proposed by VFP-62. New design requirements were recommended to replace those originally embodied in the prototype development of the CAX-3 camera. (Author)
