SUBJBCT : Request for Tnnwaaa&A RAnTift nnAar Tank TT of Contract
1. Description of the Project
This project will be a development effort leading to the fabrication
of a lightweight aerial dispatching system compatible for a C-54 type
aircraft equipped with inward opening cargo doors.
2. Purpose of the Project
The initiation of this project was requested by C/PP Staff for the
program. In an effort to sStisfy the requirements of aerial dis-
patching approximately 12,000 pounds of cargo over denied areas, in a
matter of seconds, a "breadboard" prototype conveyor system has been
designed, fabricated, sad tested. Actual flight trials using the "bread-
board" prototype conveyor system resulted in dispatching 7000 pounds
of cargo over a period of seven seconds. A maximum payload of 10,000
pounds, due to "bundle" configuration, could be dispatched from a C-54
type aircraft in ten seconds using this conveyor system and the inward
opening cargo door. Based upon the successful demonstration of the
"breadboard" prototype conveyor system a final, lightweight, prototype is
to be fabricated and flight tested. The final prototype should meet all
the requirements of a lightweight rapid delivery aerial dispatching con-
veyor.
The "breadboard" prototype is currently being retained for operational
use with the inward opening cargo door (C-54) Agency aircraft.
3. Recommended Contractor,
The erecommended contractor for this program is
ased upon technical background
and fabrication facilities it is felt that this firm is well qualified for
the project.
4. Total Cost
The total estimated cost for this phase of the project is $23,141.00.
