Personnel view, but maybe the USAF way of doing airdrop isn’t always best. Their method of CDS drops, with ac flying very very slowly with a few degrees of flap to achieve the required deck angle could be construed as downright dangerous. I think I’m right in saying that the US has lost several ac from hitting wake and flick spin......
Having said that I think we’re going the CDS way too. I can’t see what’s wrong with 50 flap and a nice safe climbing drop for AEs – or better still MEs with a bunch of blokes pushing the thing out!
