ABSTRACT:
Pressure relief louvers for preventing damage to a combat aircraft in the event of an explosion resulting from an accumulation of gun gases in the gun bay. The pressure relief louvers are flush mounted relative to the aircraft outside surface and are hinged along their lower edges longitudinally of the aircraft, in the gun bay door. They are normally held closed by magnetic action, opening only as the result of a high pressure buildup within the gun bay. The normal upward component of in-flight air flow over the gun bay doors closes the louvers after the internal pressure subsides.
