The 11.75" Tiny Tim was tested on a variety of aircraft at both China Lake / Inyokern and at the Salton Sea by the USN using, variously, F6F, F4U, PBJ, TBM / TBF, and SB2C aircraft. All used a fuselage rack and single rocket arrangement. The USAAF at Muroc tested the rocket on P-47, A-20, and...

In a conversation about possible USN CVLs, a question was asked about launching the E-2 with a ski jump. I was aware that the USN did ski-jump trials with a variety of aircraft, possibly including the E-2C, in the early 1980s. But those were apparently fairly low angle ramps. In searching...

The sum of jet lift and wing lift equals weight where the latter is estimated for the speed at launch and an effective take-off lift coefficient. Thrust line angle. Bleed air. Ambient conditions. But you're likely right if the wing area is below 300sqft, and the dead weight of the aircraft is...

...into NATO and Japanese aerospace, to soke up U.S./NATO/Japanese fighters/interceptors and SAM's? I'm thinking these could use zero-length launch system or zero-length take-off system technique, so as to maximise flight fuel, free up runways and maximise the element of strategic suprise...

Kugisho MXY7 Ohka Fortunately for the Allies, the piloted missile Kugisho MXY7 Ohka proved to have some flaws in the design when entered combat at the last stages of the WWII. As it happened with the German V-1, the Ohka could be intercepted by Allied fighters. This was actually the fact that...

Thanks for the PDF! I hadn't been able to find the length of the VPT's installed in the VPM. Your doc states they will accommodate a missile equivalent in size to the Trident 1, C4 SLBM which were 33ft in length. C4's were only 73" in diameter whereas the VPT will accommodate the larger 83"...

Early in 1943 the Rheinmetall-Borsig airborne weapons design team led by Dr. Lambrich created a Wasserrollbombe (bombing mine-bomb) capable of attacking stationary ships protected by anti-torpedo nets. The Kugelbombe prototype was a sphere with 750-mm of diameter constructed of 12-mm thick...

There is an error in the F11 engine figures.. Per Naval fighters number 44 and the test pilot of the super tiger .. the fully rated version of the J79 they were going to use was 15,000 wet. The engines they used in testing were early derated test versions! Grumman used two prototypes, the first...

A good concise summary. But I do not agree that "Operations issues were almost irrelevant". They were, in fact paramount. The Germans just had the wrong conception of what future operations would be like (we have the advantage of hindsight). They expected their fixed airfields to be annihilated...

Pray tell which missiles are in the 'many more' camp.... I'll save you checking....it's 1 missile. The Japanese Type 07 VL-ASROC. A marginally better VL-ASROC system.... Thats it....plenty of trials over the years to varying degrees, but nothing else operational or at sea.... CAMM has also...

Behold the Aerfer XS.1, much cited but never shown last Stefanutti's project for Aerfer, 1959. It was a further evolution of the Leone formula (turbojets plus rocket engine) taken to its logical consequences, a zero-lenght takeoff point defence interceptor tailored to the European theater of...

The following is a piece on ZELL that I wrote for Chandelle back in 2003: Doomsday machines: Zero-Length Launch (ZELL) The overly cerebral, largely academic defense planning of the Cold-War years produced many fascinating and unlikely solutions for narrowly-defined or non-existent problems...
