Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, Nevada Proving Grounds, March-June 1953. Project 5.3. Blast Effects on B-36 Type Aircraft in Flight. Report to the Test Director
Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to supplement data obtained in operation IVY on the blast response of a B-36 aircraft flying in the vicinity of a nuclear detonation. The data will be used to substantiate the blast/load theory employed to correlate aircraft response with blast input. The ultimate objective is the determination of the maximum delivery capabilities of the B-36 aircraft.
