Sample Testing of MAU-12B/A Bomb Ejector Racks

Abstract

Environmental testing was conducted on five production phase MAU-12B/A Bomb Ejector Racks according to MIL-R-38953A (USAF) with authorized deviations. There was a major mechanical failure on one of the racks during the Life-Firing test. Two racks had operational failures during the Icing test. The ejection pistons on one of the racks retracted during every firing of the Life-Firing test; however, the ejection pistons on four racks retracted sporadically. There were no visible mechanical failures during the static test.
