Description

The present invention relates to the field of aviation equipment.

Known methods of suspension under the wing or fuselage of an aircraft engine, fuel tanks, weapons with controls, using a pylon with a beam holder or an aircraft starting device (US 4343447 A, B 64 D 1/00, 08/10/1982; EP 0200804 A1, B 64 D 7/00, 11/12/1986; EP 0745531 A1, B 64 D 7/08, 12/04/1996; JP 4221295 A, B 64 C 17/00, 08/11/1992; RU 2000105787 A, B 64 D 1/00 , RU 93055844 A, B 64 D 7/06, 02/20/1996; US 4,679,751 A, B 64 D 1/06, 07/14/1987 - prototype).

However, in the known methods, increasing the combat capabilities of aircraft is associated with an increase in the number of suspension points of weapons due to the fact that some of the suspension points are necessary for installing special equipment in containers, for example, electronic countermeasures equipment (heat direction finding devices, electronic reconnaissance equipment, active jamming stations, and equipment for determining laser irradiation, direction finding of a laser spot, means of optoelectronic counteraction, etc.). In this case, the installation of both weapons (bombs, missiles, missile blocks, etc.), and special equipment in containers occurs as follows: a pylon is installed under the wing or fuselage of the aircraft, then a beam holder (for bombs) or aircraft is attached to it a launching device (for missiles), then a weapon is attached to them. Containers with special equipment are attached to the pylon or directly to the fuselage or wing (see I. Bedretdinov. Stormtrooper OKB P.O. Sukhoi. - M.: Izd. Kuchkovo pole, 1994, p. 71).

Thus, the disadvantage of the known methods, including the closest, is that part of the suspension points are selected on containers with special equipment. This reduces the number of weapons on the aircraft or forces the creation of additional suspension points, which increases the mass of the aircraft, worsens its aerodynamic characteristics, increases the cost.

The objective of the present invention is to increase the effectiveness of the use of means of suspension and, as a result, increase the combat capabilities of the aircraft.

The problem is solved in that in the method of suspension of remote units or external objects on an aircraft, according to which a pylon is installed under the wing or fuselage of the aircraft, which is the carrier of the fastening devices of the unit or object, as well as their controls, - the functional elements are placed equipment designed for electronic countermeasures and / or detection of targets to be suppressed and made in the form of finished products or individual blocks, s heaters when not operating in a container, and provide normal operation of said apparatus.

Partial essential features of the invention contribute to the solution of the problem.

As an external object suspended on an aircraft, an enemy weapon is used.

The specified functional equipment is placed on the pylon, or on a beam holder connected to the pylon, or an aircraft launch device, or partially in the pylon and partially on the beam holder or aircraft launch device.

For the specified functional equipment, transparent in the optical range, or radiolucent, or aerodynamic fairings are performed.

As a functional equipment, a laser spot direction finder, or an active jamming station, or a heat direction finder, or a radio intelligence station, or a laser irradiation detector, or an optical-electronic suppression device are used.

In other words, increasing the combat capabilities of aircraft is achieved by expanding the functions of the pylons (or aircraft launch devices, or beam holders - hereinafter, for brevity, - pylons) by creating multifunctional suspension means - special devices, such as:

laser spot bearing pylon;

active interference pylon;

heat detection pylon;

pylon radio intelligence station;

laser radiation detection pylon;

optoelectronic suppression pylon.

At the same time, the pylon retains the functions of a transitional power element, the carrier of traditional equipment and devices (weapon control system blocks, locks, stops, guides, etc.), and with the help of the built-in special equipment it performs the new functions of the active jamming station, direction finder and etc.

Special equipment can be built into the pylons both in separate blocks distributed inside the pylon and in its own housing installed in the pylon. In the pylon, the necessary changes are made for the operation of special equipment: holes, fairings, cavities, fasteners, etc.

Thus, at all points of the suspension will be only weapons, and special equipment - in the pylons at the same points of the suspension. The set of actions and their sequence when installing the means of destruction will be as follows: special devices are installed under the wing or fuselage - multifunctional means of suspension equipped with special equipment in advance, beam holders or aircraft launch devices are attached to them, only weapons are attached to them.

Special equipment, as already noted, can also be installed on beam holders or on aircraft launchers, if necessary. Special equipment can be installed partly on pylons, partly on beam holders and aircraft launchers.

Figure 1 shows a General view of LA 1 for the opposed method with pylons 2 attached to the wing 3 of the aircraft, holders 4, aircraft launchers 5, attached to the pylons 2, bombs 6, missiles 7, attached to the holders 4 and to the aircraft launchers 5, respectively, with containers 8 attached to the pylon 2 and containers 9 attached to the wing 3 of the aircraft 1.

Figure 2 shows the traditional installation of the bomb 6 on the wing 3 through the holder 4 and the pylon 2.

Figure 3 shows the proposed installation scheme of the bomb 6 on the wing 3 through the holder and a special device, for example, a pylon-direction finder of a laser spot 10, with an optical-mechanical unit 11, an electronic unit 12, a switching and control unit 13 placed in its nose. this in front of the pylon is a hole 14 with a glazing 15 inserted into it.

Figure 4 presents the traditional installation of missiles (in the block) 7 on the pylon 2 mounted on the wing 3.

Figure 5 presents the proposed scheme for installing missiles 7 on a special device, for example, a pylon-station of active interference 16 mounted on the wing 3. In this case, the pylon-station of active interference is equipped with a front fairing 17 and a rear fairing 18 for accommodating special equipment. Part of the special equipment, for example block 19, can be located in any part of the active interference pylon-station 16.

Figure 6 shows the proposed scheme for installing missiles 7 on a special device, for example, a short-range direction finding pylon 20 mounted on the wing 3. In this case, the direction finding pylon is equipped with two direction finding devices 21 and 22 mounted on the fasteners 22 and 24 of the direction finding pylon, respectively 20, equipped with fairings 25 and 26 for receiving thermal radiation from the target with heat direction finders 21 and 22.

Figure 7 shows the traditional installation diagram of the rocket 7 through the aircraft launcher 5 and the pylon 2 on the wing 3.

Fig. 8 shows the proposed installation scheme of the rocket 7 on a special device, for example, an aircraft launch device — a laser radiation detector 27 installed on a special device, for example, an electronic reconnaissance pylon 28. In this case, detectors are installed in the front and rear cavities 29 and 30 of the special device 27 laser spots 31 and 32, respectively, under optically transparent fairings 33 and 34, and in a special device 28 cavities 35 and 36 are made for installation of antennas 37 and 38, respectively - under radiolucent fairings 39 and 40.

Figure 9 shows the traditional installation diagram at the end face 41 of the wing 3 of the rocket 7 through the aircraft launcher 5 and the pylon 2.

Figure 10 shows the proposed installation scheme on the end face 41 of the wing 3 of the rocket 7 through an aircraft launch device 5 and a special device, for example, a long-range detection pylon 42 with a built-in heat detection device 43.

Figure 11 shows the proposed installation scheme of the rocket 7 at the end face 41 of the wing 3 through a special device, for example, an aircraft launching device - means of optoelectronic suppression 44. In this case, a special device is installed on the end face 41 of the wing 3.

From the drawings it can be seen that on the given analogue of the 12 suspension points on the wing, four (~ 33%) are occupied by containers, and the aircraft contains less weapons by four units, which in real combat conditions reduces its combat capabilities.

The installation on aircraft of special devices - multifunctional means of suspension - allows you to install weapons on all points of the suspension and thereby increase the combat capabilities of the aircraft.

Special equipment is either in the form of finished products (for example, radio intelligence antennas, equipment for detecting laser radiation, short and long range direction finders, etc.) - see Fig. 6, 8, 10, or as separate blocks, nodes, parts, etc., enclosed in a single non-standard container body.

In the first case, the finished product is standard for all aircraft. On pylons (holders, aircraft launching devices), it is necessary to provide only places for their fastening and provide conditions for their work (radiolucent fairings, mounting power elements, electrical wiring, etc.).

In the second case, the container for special equipment is developed in agreement with the Customer - the aircraft developer.

In this case, the Customer gives the developer of special equipment initial data (dimensions, preliminary design, etc.) for joint work on the manufacture of a special device: active interference pylon station, etc. - see figures 3, 5, 11.

Special devices, if the equipment stands for the main dimensions of the pylon, are equipped with fairings.

If necessary, special devices can have an unconventional shape - made not in the form of structures with a quadrangular cross section, but in the form of cylinders closed from the ends of the fairings - Fig.11.

The creation of special devices - multifunctional means of suspension - is also justified by the fact that the special equipment installed in them works in close contact with the means of destruction and their presence in close proximity to them reduces the cost of wiring cables, transition devices, etc., which reduces the mass of the aircraft and increases the reliability of both special equipment and weapons, while reducing the time of pre-flight preparation of the aircraft.
