Air Force Flight Evaluation (Systems) of the A-10A Prototype Aircraft. Appendix 5. Weapon Delivery

Abstract

The Air Force Flight Evaluation of the A-10A aircraft began on 10 October 1972 with the acceptance of the first aircraft from the contractor. The second aircraft was accepted on 31 October 1972. A total of 138.5 hours was accumulated during 87 flights. The program was completed on 9 December 1972. This appendix presents the results from the weapon Delivery phase of the AFFE. The basic report, FTC-TR-73-3, Air Force Flight Evaluation (Systems) of the A- 10A Prototype Aircraft, published under separate cover, presents the results of the general system evaluation, quantitative reliability and maintainability, and personnel subsystem test and evaluation.
