Fighter Hangers Carrying People

Fighter hangers carry people

True Lies ended with the governor shooting the villain, who was hanging from a rattlesnake, across the building. So in reality, can a fighter jet fly with someone hanging out from underneath the hangers? Aside from some ground crew spoofing, it's perfectly feasible for a fighter to carry a person on a hanger.

It all started with a mid-April 2016 incident. At the time, a critically ill patient in the city of Bod?, in northern Norway, was in dire need of extracorporeal membrane lung oxygenation equipment to work with resuscitation. This equipment is not large, probably can be stuffed into a medium-sized suitcase. But it wasn't available locally, and the nearest city in southern Norway, Trondheim, is 450 kilometers away.

Because of the urgency of the situation, it had to be transported by means faster than helicopters. A Norwegian Air Force F-16, which happened to be on a mission in Trondheim, transported the equipment to Bod?. A journey that would have taken ten hours by car took the F-16 only 25 minutes, and the whole transportation, plus the link-up, was done in 40 minutes.

The incident triggered an outcry in the small-populated region, with some even suggesting that a permanent mechanism should be set up for the fighter jets to act as "ambulances". This incident, many people in the circle of friends thought that the Norwegian air force is the patient mounted on a hanger to transport hundreds of kilometers. In fact, this is not the case. However, the hanger transport people this is really feasible.

Using the F-16 to quickly transport special supplies is really a "good move". Because fixed-wing airplanes have higher speed and range than helicopters, it does have a slight "advantage" in this area.

The medical equipment was actually shipped in a cargo assembly common to fighter jets. This assembly can be large or small, and is usually part of the sub-tank, or near the landing gear bay. Its usual duty in normal times is usually to carry the personal belongings of fighter pilots.

In fact, military aircraft also generally do not carry valuable cargo on wing hangers during liaison missions, but are carried by the crew. This is because the important cargo being transported (e.g., classified documents) cannot withstand the risk of falling out of the aircraft.

So what about fixed-wing combat airplanes, can they carry people under the hangers? The answer is yes. The earliest documented examples of the total impracticality of "racking people" in the era of aeronautical exploration can be traced back to Germany and the United States in the World War II era.

Germany attempted to add crew compartments to the wings of JU-87 bombers and BF-109 fighters, but this was not considered a true "rack carrier". The U.S. developed and photographed a manned pod mounted under the wing of the P-38 late in World War II, perhaps the earliest record of a "mounted man-carrier".

In the field of "mounted manned", "the most daring" is the United Kingdom. The Harrier's manned pod program is a household name, something that was produced but not widely used.

People, unlike missiles, have to have life-support equipment arranged for them when transported in a pod. In addition, the transportation of untrained or injured people, whether he is hanging under the hanger, or sitting in the cockpit, the flight fighter pilots have to be "merciful", because of the high speed of the flight of the human body stress changes are very violent. Most people can't stand it, let alone the wounded.
