railfancwb Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Mr Gatling should be proud. Virtually everything the USA military flies carries one or more weapons derived from his invention. I’m sure this is true in some other militaries as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcats were built with breakaway (splodable) wingtips because there was a concern the wings might fold. The idea was to blow the tips in a controlled manner, leaving a compromised, but flyable airplane. Apparently Grumman never got them quite right. A few deployed spontaneously in flight, IIRC, and the idea was eventually abandoned. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
