Drag ...

Many thanks for your explanation

I guess I'll have to wait until you return from your holiday ... but I have a tech question to ask ... I know ... how sad am I

When dropping fuel/liquid how do you inhibit/dampen the momentum of the liquid as the load transitions from the horizontal (on exit) to the vertical in the drop. Would I be right in assuming that the "container/bladder" has some flexibility that could offer some damping ... but even so there must be quite some forces at work in this config

Best ...

Coff.

PS. More pics from Drag's archive latter ... once we've helped AA62 out with his DZ ID
