New Stealthy Lockeed UCAV
This weeks AW&ST has an article on a new UCAV that Lockheed is working on that would be launched from an F-22. It would have a range of a thousand miles, landing gear etc. etc. It would weigh about 7500 pounds and each fighter would carry two. My question is this: The published information I've seen lists the F-22's pylons as being rated at 5000lbs so how would it carry a 7500lb munition? Would they just severly restrict it's G loading when carrying it? Use some kind of adapter that attaches to BOTH hardpoints on a wing and carry it in the middle? Or would they beef up the wing? |
