Bomb Arming-Vane Assemblies

Fig 5-20 BOMB ARMING-VANE ASSEMBLIES (Various Types)... [Pg.1020]

When the fuzed bomb is dropped, the arming wire is retained in the bomb rack in order to free the arming vane assembly, thus causing it to rotate in the airstream. After traveling thru the air at a predetermined distance, the arming of delay mechanism is completed and further rotation unscrews the arming mechanism from the fuze... [Pg.969]

When the fuzed bomb is released free to arm, the vane carrier is unlocked from the striker flange by withdrawal of the arming wire. The vane carrier then rotates by action of the airstream on the arming-vane assembly, driving the reduction gears which arm the fuze. Completion of 175 revolutions of the arming-vane assembly (which requires ca 1000-ft of air travel along the trajectory) arm the fuze fully. [Pg.969]
