Ejection Tests of the B61 Weapon from the Lockheed F-104G Centerline Rack.
Abstract
A total of 34 static test firings were made with combinations of Mk 2, Mk 9, and ARD 446 cartridges in the Lockheed F-104G centerline rack ejecting a B61 weapon shape. The rack was tested with the ejector pistons in the standard positions: 0.154-inch diameter orifice forward and 0.188-inch diameter orifice aft, and with the pistons reversed. The rack was also tested using the original slave piston and seals, and with the new slave piston and seals installed as required by Time Compilance Technical Order 1F-104G-561. Test results show desired ejection characteristics were achieved using two Mk 9 cartridges and the pistons in the standard positions. Incorporation of TCTO 1F-104G-561 did not alter the ejection characteristics. (Author)
