ABSTRACT:
This invention is concerned with an ejection release unit for releasing and projecting a store from an aircraft. The unit comprises a releasable latching mechanism for supporting the store, a pair of telescopic ejection guns for projecting the store from the aircraft, a breech for one or more cartridges which, on ignition, produce pressure gas which causes the latching mechanism to release the store and also acts on a piston which indirectly transmits the resultant force to a body of hydraulic fluid, which, in its turn, operates the ejection gun at each side. Preferably, there are two oppositely acting pistons, each of which pistons transmits pressure to a separate body of hydraulic fluid for operating a respective ejection gun. The breeches may be formed in a removable unit which also defines the cylinders within which the pistons work.
