Design and Qualification Testing of the CNU-538/E Container for the F-15 Canopy.

Abstract

This report is to document the design and qualification testing of a aluminum container, CNU-538/E, for shipping/storing F-15 canopies. The CNU-538/E will replace the current wooden container. The CNU-538/E will store either the one man canopy or the two man canopy, prevent deformation of the canopies, and have a longer life cycle with less maintenance to the container and canopies. The CNU-538/E is a reusable, welded aluminum, controlled breathing style container for level A packaging. The CNU-538/E container was tested to qualify the container for production release by the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity. The design and tests were in accordance with MIL-STD-5584, MIL-STD- 648, and FED-STD-101 and completed at the Air Force Packaging Evaluation Activity, wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-5999
