Multiple barrel ring airfoil launcher and multiple ring chuck for a ring airfoil launcher

摘要

A ring airfoil launcher has a first barrel and a second barrel coupled to a stock and a launching mechanism disposed within each of the first barrel and the second barrel and within the stock. A chuck for the ring airfoil launcher has a hub having an inner diameter sized to be received over either the first barrel or the second barrel and to be axially slidable along the respective barrel. The hub is arranged to be coupled to the respective launch mechanism. The chuck has a first ring airfoil engaging surface formed on the hub, the first ring airfoil engaging surface adapted to receive a first ring airfoil, and a second ring airfoil engaging surface formed on the hub, the second ring airfoil engaging surface adapted to receive a second ring airfoil.
