The thermal blast shield can be stowed window-shade like or accordianfold- like, and can be formed of a variety of flexible thermal resistant, blast resistant materials.FREDERICK C. GUILL
_ASSIST_ARM_TOGGLE key events should be used to attach the launch bar to the bogie of the catapult (which is not animated). If the aircraft is not in the correct location, the connection will not be made. If all goes well, the connection will be made, and the blast shield will be ...

due to the Aardvark’s role in air, it was rarely fitted with the gun. The Aardvark was the first aircraft in production with a variable sweep with the configuration which is why it was also tested for carrier-based operations, however, this was never completed (although there were some su...
quantified the damage ability index of the missile to an aircraft carrier by establishing a mathematical model of important targets on the aircraft carrier and used the Monte Carlo method to calculate the damaging effect of the missile on the aircraft carrier, which is simple, fast and reliable ...
The ozone layer provides a shield that protects life on the surface, but ozone in the troposphere in excess of about 0.05 ppm is a noxious gas. Global monitoring of the status and behavior of the ozone layer is best done from space, and extremely sensitive satellite instruments have been bui...
A carrier cannot have more than one runway. For each catapult required add an attachpt_catapult_start_n, attachpt_catapult_end_n, and an attachpt_blast_shield_n. The start position is the point where the aircraft should connect its launch bar. The blast shield point should be the center...
A blast shield 78 may, if desired, be provided to encase the foot and the lower end of the foot tubes, whereby to protect adjacent portions of the airplane from the heat and corrosive effects of the explosive gases. The invention also provides manually operable bomb releasing means employable...
Preferably, the length of each nacelle is suitably forward to accommodate the passive stop-fold and may include a ring snubber or other suitable shield located around the nacelle to prevent damage to the blades or the nacelle when the blades make contact with the nacelle as well as to secure...
