Anti-tilting resilient support system for aimed airborne pod-enclosed sensor instruments

摘要

The system includes a number of cables and pulleys arranged to prevent vertical and sidewise tilting of the sensor mounting structure (SMS) about a transverse axis while affording a useful limited degree of vertical and sidewise translational freedom for resilient vibration-isolating support. The cable and pulley arrangement extends from end to end of the SMS in a narrow radial clearanceway between the SMS and an elongated cylindrical pod housing to be affixed to an aircraft for disposition at its exterior.
