Static and Dynamic Testing of the MHU-12/M Trailer

Abstract

Static and dynamic tests were performed on an MHU-12M Munitions Handling Trailer for determining aircraft transport criteria. An existing tiedown configuration for air transport of the MHU-12/M trailer, without parking shoring, was established and tested. Dynamic tests, simulating flight conditions, performed with this tiedown configuration on an unshored trailer having soft springs and/or pneumatic tires revealed that a weapon-trailer combination can be excited to resonance. The developed tiedown configuration, test procedures, test data, notations of test observations and other pertinent information are presented.
