ABSTRACT:
A single station bomb rack includes two cantilevered sway brace arms each ovided with two oppositely placed sway bolts. The sway brace arms are shaped to accomodate a variety of store shapes and each of the sway brace arms acts in a spring-like fashion under loading. The sway bolts are each provided with internal springs which assure continuous pad-to-store contact. Each sway bolt is provided with a force indicating means which signals that sufficient force has been applied to the sway bolt thereby preventing unnecessary down-hook forces on the bomb rack hook.
