TWO-ROUND ZUNI LAUNCHERS FOR F-8 AIRCRAFT.

Abstract

Experience at the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station with the LAU-33/A and LAU-35/A launchers is discussed. These launchers, which are used for firing Zuni rockets from the F-8 series aircraft, add considerably to the firepower of the aircraft. The over-all concept is good; the launchers are lightweight and are easily handled and easily loaded; and pilots have good results as far as accuracy is concerned. A few minor discrepancies have been found, however, and recommendations for modifications to the launchers are made. (Author)
