Does nobody know what the max speed limits are for unguided bombs? In mach speeds? I think below sound barrier right?
Thanks for any help |

I'm no bomb-dropper guy, but this 'limit' would need to take into effect the aircraft type, pylon/launcher type, speed, altitude, angle, etc...
I believe the airframe would determine the maximum release speed, angle, altitude, etc to preclude airframe damage.
It's not just a yes or no question, nor is it a certain maximum speed question for the bomb.
In a recent test a MK82 JDAM was released at MACH 2: http://www.wpafb.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123094065

Generally speaking, weapon drop limits are the same as carriage limits as far as speed goes. It makes no sense to approach a target at high speed, then slow down to drop a weapon. Desired carriage and separation limits are specified by the customer, say USAF, then the airplane and weapon are designed and tested to those limits. Nothing says the weapon cannot be dropped at higher speeds, but it would take additional analysis and test to verify it.
So if you know the carriage limit, you probably know the separation limit. If you don't know the carriage limit, then you don't need to know the separation limit. |
