ABSTRACT:
For use in an aircraft having a store retaining cavity from which a loaded store may protrude beyond the envelope of the aircraft, a dual condition air bag system for substantially eliminating air turbulence about the store-cavity interface when the store is loaded, and reducing relative movement of the store during taxiing and flight of the aircraft; and for substantially eliminating air turbulence about the cavity-aircraft interface following release of the store by expansion of the air-bag to a dimension to substantially conform the exterior thereof to the envelope of the aircraft, the expanded shape of the air-bag system being controlled by a plurality of ties bonded to the inner surfaces of the air-bag to limit the displacement of the exterior surface of the air-bag when air pressure is applied to the interior thereof.
