Pylons
Sargent Fletcher
Inc. (Sargent Fletcher) manufactures pylons designed specifically to support
Sargent Fletcher
external fuel tanks and Sargent Fletcher aerial refueling systems. A
request for a "fast track" solution for a universal pylon
resulted into a modification to the design of a Sargent Fletcher pylon unit, used
to support the Aerial Refueling Pod on KC-130 aircraft, into a
component that would accept a MAU-12 ejector rack. The project
was completed and units were shipped in record time. If you have a need for a pylon
fabrication source, Sargent Fletcher would be happy to discuss your requirements
in
detail.
The recently delivered first unit
for the USAF Airborne Laser program features a unique pylon that
supports a pod placed above the fuselage, rather than the normal under-wing
location. These units will be installed on the upper fuselage of
Boeing 747-400 aircraft, just aft of the cockpit. Click
