ABSTRACT:
A carriage and ejection assembly for retaining different types of stores to an aircraft and selectively ejecting a carried one of the stores away from the aircraft is disclosed. The assembly can include a sway brace having at least one contact location for each type of store, wherein during ejection of the carried store by actuation of the sway brace, the at least one contact location corresponding to the carried store applies a pitch downward moment to the carried store. Another feature of the assembly can include a direct connection of the sway brace to a moveable part of an ejection actuator. Another feature of the assembly can include independent latching and unlatching of plural store retaining hooks of the assembly. Another feature can include a compressor for pressurizing a piston of the assembly that is carried by the aircraft. Yet another feature can include a hook release actuator placed in series with and upstream of an ejector actuator.
