loft bombing การใช้
- Unguided loft bombing also generally called for the use of a larger bomb than would be necessary for a direct hit, in order to generate a larger blast that would destroy the target even if the bomb did not hit accurately due to windage or computer / pilot error.
- The integration into the FCC simplifies the pilot's workload by allowing the same bombing mode ( CCRP ) to be used for level, dive and loft bombing, providing similar cues in the pilot's displays regardless of the tactics used, since the computer simply sees it as the release point getting closer.
- Returning to MCAS El Toro in 1957, the squadron assumed its role in the Unit Deployment Program with scheduled rotations to Japan and traded in its AD Skyraider aircraft and joined the jet age with the F9F-8B . The Cougar equipped with the LABS system for loft bombing, was the first aircraft flown by the squadron capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
- "' Toss bombing "'( sometimes known as "'loft bombing "', and by the U . S . Air Force as the Low Altitude Bombing System, LABS ) is a method of bombing where the attacking aircraft pulls upward when releasing its bomb load, giving the bomb additional time of flight by starting its ballistic path with an upward vector.
- A more dynamic variant of toss bombing, called "'over-the-shoulder bombing "', or the LABS ( Low Altitude Bombing System ) maneuver ( known to pilots as the " idiot's loop " ), is a particular kind of loft bombing where the bomb is released past the arc before falling on a target which was a considerable distance from its point of release.
