WEIGHT AND BALANCE STATUS REPORT XSM-65C - ISSUE NO. 5 GUIDED MISSILE,

Abstract

This is the fifth Weight Status Report for the XSM-65C Missile. The weights shown in this report reflect the revised specifications. The 'Details Of G.F.A.E. Variations', Section IV, presents a listing of all G.F.A.E. equipment weights on the XSM-65C Missile. The figures showing the changes represent the present specification weight versus the current weight. Principal Current Weight Changes are: Expendable Propellants, +414 lbs., based on a re-evaluation of tank volumes and ullages. Tank Skins, +41 lbs., increase in gauge due to ECP 94. G.E. Mod II Guidance System, +119 lbs. The G.E. Mod III Guidance System was originally scheduled for all XSM-65C Missiles, according to ECP-78, however, a late effectivity change excluded Missile 3C from this schedule prior to incorporation of ECP-78 into this report. Pressurization System, -65 lbs., calc. versus estimate. Ground Cooling and Vent, -40 lbs., calc. versus estimate. In the Booster Stage: Fireshield and Canted Exhaust redesign due to ECP 81, +46 lbs. ECP 81 has been included by various design group changes and G.F.A.E. Variations in previous weight reports, +54 lbs. in ZW-7-088 (dated 1 May 1958) -178 lbs. in ZW-7-077 (dated 1 March 1958). Exhaust System Supports, -30 lbs., removal of Estimate. Ground Pressure Control Group, -25 lbs., calc. versus estimate. Pressurization Group, -20 lbs., calc. versus estimate. (Author)
