ABSTRACT:
To drop objects from a container or receptacle mounted at an aircraft there is beneficially employed a pressure head. For this purpose the object mounted internally of the container upon guide rails is impinged at its front end by the flight-pressure head of the aircraft, so that it is ejected from the tail end of the container. For rapidly realizing the necessary safety distance between the aircraft and the dropped object at the tail end of the container there is deflected a flow onto the departing object, so that a pressure pulse is applied to the object and it is accelerated. The invention is particularly suitable for accurately laying a multiplicity of objects at surface-like or areal targets i.e. upon a given terrain. Its use is contemplated for both civilian applications, such as dropping life saving and supporting equipment and so forth, and military applications, such as for dropping bombs, mines and other ordinance. The apparatus is extremely simple and functionally reliable. The only movable auxiliary means needed is a controllable bolt or equivalent structure within a blocking device for the release of the object.
