  • Apparatus and system for multiple towed targets
    Patent number: 10414496
    Abstract: A secondary cable connected to a tow reel connects a secondary tow target with a primary tow target. The primary tow target has a mother tow reel positioned at its center of gravity. The mother tow reel is connected to a primary cable that connects the primary tow target to an aircraft. The primary tow target is provided with a pair of lugs positioned on the primary tow target such that an axis line extends through the pair of lugs and through the center of gravity of the primary tow target. A slide ring that is slidable along a cable yoke is attached to the pair of lugs. The slide ring is connected to the secondary cable such that a line of force from the secondary cable is constantly directed through the center of gravity of the primary tow target allowing for the stable aerodynamic flight of the towing aircraft.
