Ordnance alignment and loading apparatus

摘要

Apparatus for automatic final alignment and latching of ordnance to aircraft including a pair of diagonally opposed pin and cone sets demountably attached to the ordnance and aircraft respectively, lug and latch sets similarly attached, and a pair of inflatable bags supporting a platform on which the ordnance rests. Upon completion of approximate alignment, a lifting force is imparted to the weapons by inflation of the bags, causing smooth mating of the pins and cones and final fastening of the lugs and latches.
