Hard Flush Aircraft Shelter (Test Model Design and Prototype Conceptual Study)

Abstract

This report documents results of a design study for the Boeing Hard Flush Aircraft Shelter (HFAS). The basic HFAS concept was formulated by the Boeing Aerospace Company as a protective shelter for the F-111. The present study addressed reconfiguration of the shelter interior so as to accommodate a variety of USAF tactical aircraft, while also providing an overall increase in shelter blast resistance. Design concepts for the full-scale prototype are presented, together with analyses design details, and pretest predictions for a one-third scale test model for the DICE THROW high explosive airblast environment. Conceptual prototype and detailed test model design drawings are provided as an Appendix.
