  • Apparatus for improving the installation moments of external loads on aircraft
    Patent number: 6669140
    Abstract: Apparatus for reducing the installation moments of an external load installed at at least one fastening station of an aircraft includes a ramp arranged in front of the shoulder station relative to the direction of flight. The height of the ramp increases toward the fastening station, and the end of the ramp that is located in proximity of the shoulder station forms a break-off edge that is disposed at a predetermined distance from the outer side of the external load that is directed toward the break-off edge, in order to influence pitch moments and yawing moments of the external load.
