Method of releasing stores from an ejection rack

摘要

A method of ejecting or jettisoning stores from an aircraft is disclosed that pertains essentially a method of supplying the gas storage system with compressed gas that has a pressure-to-temperature ratio that ensures proper jettisoning of stores under all design temperature specifications, without the need for on-board compressors, heating elements, or venting systems. The invention can be practiced by simply making a temperature measurement, during or before the step of supplying the gas storage system with compressed gas, and determining therefrom the necessary pressure of compressed gas to initially supply to the gas storage system. By so doing, the performance of the ejection system at various temperatures is automatically controlled, regardless of the temperature of the compressed gas immediately after such gas is supplied to the gas storage system.
