Abstract: The present invention concerns an arrangement (1) configured for storing and launching a payload (3) and a method for launching the payload (3) from the arrangement (1). A body (9) of the arrangement (1) comprises a compartment (15) configured to store and eject the payload (3). An aerodynamic surface (11) of the body (9) is provided with a launch opening (13) comprising a guideway (17) extending from the compartment (15). A sliding portion (12) of the payload (3) is configured to slide along the guideway (17) and through the launch opening (13) upon ejection. The extension of the guideway (17) inclines with an acute angle (?) relative the normal (N) to the centre line (CL) of the elongated body (9).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for launching a payload (3) by means of an arrangement (1), which is configured for storing and launching a payload (3). A launch compartment (5) of the arrangement (1) is configured to eject the payload (3) from the launch compartment (5) via a push-out chamber (7) to an airflow (AF), which during use of the arrangement (1) flows over an aerodynamic surface (9) of the arrangement (1). An air intake (13) is formed in the aerodynamic surface (9) and is coupled to the push-out chamber (7) and/or launch compartment (5) via an internal air transfer arrangement (17) comprising an openable closure member (11) configured to close and open the internal air transfer arrangement (17).
