EXPERIMENTAL HIGH INTENSITY FLARE SYSTEMS: DESIGN AND TESTS OF.
Abstract
Flight and static test results are presented of various configured parachute suspended flare systems. It was shown that a five-million candlepower, five-minute burning time flare can be achieved by utilizing multiple flares in the vertical or the horizontal attitude. It is also shown that multiple parachutes can be utilized to obtain a low rate of descent although there appears to be a loss in efficiency as the number of parachutes is increased. Actual photometric data taken during flight tests is presented for various configured illuminating flare systems. (Author)
