DEVICE FOR DROPPING PAYLOAD FROM AIRCRAFT (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B64D1/08 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft (AC) equipment for inflight dropping, launching and detachment of objects. Device for dropping payload (PL) from AC includes longitudinal transporter-launcher container, PL, high-pressure gas source with trigger provided with electrically controlled drive, and dropping control system communicating by electric line with electrically controlled drive of trigger. Container is placed and fixed on AC structural components along its fuselage, provided with window at the side of rear butt end for PL passing through. PL is positioned inside container on two guides with formation of pneumatic cell in the front part of container inside cavity and attached to container by attachment mechanism made with possibility of lock release. Gas source with trigger are connected with pneumatic cell by gas feeding line. Also, the device contains PL partial exit indicator. The gas source is provided with one additional trigger equipped with electrically controlled drive connected by electric communication line with dropping control system which is additionally connected by electric communication line with PL partial exit indicator. Gas source with additional trigger are connected with pneumatic cell by additional gas feeding line. The device can be provided with additional gas source with trigger.

EFFECT: reduced PL dropping time without increase in container mass and longitudinal load, high reliability of device operation.
