Re: F-15 STOL Takeoff Trolley this from here http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2.0.html nice Idea to use a Hovercraft platform As launch help but try this on bomb runway full of holes ! by the way in background of picture you see destroy and burning Hangars were to hell...

Where did they say that? The old trailer is for transport, with launch done with RATO and a zero-length rail. The KTLS has nothing to do with weight.

Nike documentation lists one of the launch rail functions being to “guide the missile until airborne”. Which is to be expected if it’s depending wholly upon aerodynamic control for its stability. That’s conventional launch to me not VL.

As far as I'm my understanding goes for all of this, the "dive-bomber" style trapeze was only used in testing for the Corsair, and the latter wing root stations as displayed was the type that saw action. The thing is, is that neither of these are the special zero-length racks as described on the...

In theory yes, but it might require limiting how far back the main turrets could be trained. Not that it would be a big problem in 1960s, though. Basically yes, those missiles were relatively small (IRRC, their launcher fit on jeep), and they boost-launched from zero-length ramp.

The tumble is due to basic physics... as it is being spun about, the projectile is rotating. When it's released it retains that angular momentum until something acts on it. It tumbled through at least one full rotation by the time it passed out of view of the drone that filmed it... perhaps a...

Northrop did a single zero-length launch (JATO assisted) at Hill AFB in 1984 from a representative MRLS cannister. The sabots were new and conformal to the missile. Wings, vertical, elevons and rudder were all folded. This was the first and only use of a newly developed solid rocket motor for...

But Navy have catapults for that - and they are much safer, than liquid rocket boosters to store onboard. Well, this more likely (Korolev experimented with similar ideas in late 1930s, a cruise missile with liquid-fuel rocket, to serve as cheap mobile analogue of long-range artillery). Maybe...

AIM-120 seems rather unlikely, it being 12 feet long (taller than LVTP-7, even if there were zero ground clearance under the VLS bay). Given the lack of mid-length wings/fins, I'd have to assume an early AIM-9X (or ASRAAM) is the intended missile. The thrust vectoring would presumably lend...

My friends dad was an engineer on one of the upgrades and I used go hear about the great lengths they went to in order to achieve that coveted zero fail. But yeah i heard they expected a small % would explode over the USA and rain down nuclear debris.

I get why people love the TSR2, it's a gorgeous plane. So gorgeous it even got to star in an Anime (Stratos-4), though it was doing weird things like zero-length-launch, high altitude intercept of falling rocks, using nukes. And because anime, with female pilots in compression G-suits, in a...

...and central-controlled. Partially true, but the reason is differen - the longer rail helped to stabilize the rocket while it was accelerating and thus improve accuracy. But Navy didn't like long rail launchers because they took too much space; the zero-length launch tube was preferred solution.

The rail was mostly for loading and allowing the missile to be serviced in a horizontal position. For launch it was close to a zero-length launcher and just brought the missile to vertical for firing. The Nike went from 0 to supersonic in under 2 seconds. On the Ajax, note that both engines...

The wobble is probably due to the projectile's length, if it had zero length and were attached at the point where the arm is normal to the launch path there should be no wobble. The wobble should be predictable and I'd think it would be possible to stop it proactively with some sort of thruster...

Couldn't you have two release points and convert any rotation into a lateral translation using the timing of the release of the two individual points? Also this: (I'd have clipped the relevant portion out, since the channel just grabbed it from somewhere else anyway, but it didn't feel "right".)

It was the newest is what I meant, and thus represented the state of the art, even if it had regressed. I think the Marines were just silly and didn't consider the practical benefit of a rocket launcher was in immediate suppression capacity. "There's something out there, and it ain't no...

Yeah I've noticed... And reading the description for the launchers: This basically describes the GW 70-81 design series. Which had various (2-4-5-6-10 single) Stage 1 3/4 missile launchers.
