tinyclark Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 They don't mention the 30mm. I wonder if they scrapped that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEFEGeorge Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 How does this affect the lateral wing loading with the missiles on or off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3_Super_Bee Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 How does this affect the lateral wing loading with the missiles on or off? Probably not by much. P-3's fly around all the time with a AGM-84K SLAM-ER CATM(roughly 1500 lbs) on one wing, with no ill effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Forgive an old memory but isn't there a 1,000 imbalance limit between wings? Too long to remember the actual numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Storie Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 1500 between wings and 1000 between symmetrical tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 That's right. Been 25 years...... Still, if the missiles are launched wouldn't that hit, or exceed, the limit? But I guess that fuel could be transferred between tanks, like the drone birds did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
