MK 81 and MK 82 Bomb Release Curves

Abstract

The release envelopes were studied for the Mark 81 and Mark 82 bombs in the retarded and unretarded modes. Release curves are presented for release velocities between 200 and 600 knots. Aircraft pullout limits and line of sight between pilot and target limits are indicated on the release curves. The time of fall of the bomb is also indicated on the curves.
