ABSTRACT:
An aircraft armament mounting system includes an elongated support plank member which is longitudinally insertable transversely through the aircraft cabin area so that a central portion is disposed therein. The central plank portion is anchored within the cabin area, with opposite outer longitudinal portions of the plank projecting outwardly from opposite sides of the aircraft. Specially designed mounting structures are provided which permit selectively variable and oriented combinations of rocket launchers, 7.62 mm machine guns and 0.50 caliber machine guns to be removably secured to the outwardly projecting plank portions to provide the aircraft with a high degree of armament interchangeability and versatility.
