Csak tippem van rá: indításnál még nem érdemes a szárnyat nyitni mert gyorsításnál-emelkedésnél csak káros ellenállást jelentene, viszont aerodinamikai felületek nélkül így a legegyszerűbb a repirány stabilizálása (ugyanúgy mint a huzagolt csőből kilőtt pörgő puskalövedéknél).

Ezen témában - a fórumon rendhagyó módon - az oldal üzemeltetője saját álláspontja, meggyőződése alapján nem enged bizonyos véleményeket, mivel meglátása szerint az káros a járványhelyzet enyhítését célzó törekvésekre.
Kérünk, hogy a vírus veszélyességét kétségbe vonó, oltásellenes véleményed más platformon fejtsd ki. Nálunk ennek nincs helye. Az ilyen hozzászólásokért 1 alkalommal figyelmeztetés jár, majd folytatása esetén a témáról letiltás. Arra is kérünk, hogy a fórum más témáiba ne vigyétek át, mert azért viszont már a fórum egészéről letiltás járhat hosszabb-rövidebb időre.

A források, hírek preferáltak. Azoknak, akik veszik a fáradságot és összegyűjtik ezeket a főként harcokkal, a háború jelenlegi állásával és haditechnika szempontjából érdekes híreket, (mindegy milyen oldali) forrásokkal alátámasztják és bonuszként legalább a címet egy google fordítóba berakják, azoknak ismételten köszönjük az áldozatos munkáját és további kitartást kívánunk nekik!
Ami nem a topik témájába vág vagy akár csak erősebb hangnemben is kerül megfogalmazásra, az valamilyen formában szankcionálva lesz
Minden olyan hozzászólásért ami nem hír, vagy szorosan a konfliktushoz kapcsolódó vélemény / elemzés azért instant 3 nap topic letiltás jár. Aki pedig ezzel trükközne és folytatná másik topicban annak 2 hónap fórum ban a jussa.
Így ránézésre viszont úgy tűnik egy pörgő eszközt nehéz stabilizálni amikor kinyitja a szárnyakat. Bár lehet úgy van tervezve, hogy amikor csökken a sebessége és nyitja a szárnyait, akkor magától beáll egy stabil állapotba.

Tekintve, hogy a repülőgéphez hasonlóan 3 tengely körül képes kormányzoni a bomba kb. arrólo van szó, hogy orsozó mozgást kell megszüntetni. Az egyetlen kérdés az, hogy mekkora a szárnyak igénybevétele nyitáskor és mekkora max. erőt engednek meg amikor a manővert megcsinálja. Még az is lehetséges, hogy nem is maga a bomba csinálja, hanem annak hordozóeszközén is képeek a vezérsíkokat mozgatni és az maga állítja meg vagy legalább lassítja a forgást.
Mivel az első fokozatan kvázi MLRS-ként viselkedik ezért forgásstabilizálás nélkül nehezen menne a dolog...
Biztos hogy nem pörgés közben nyitja a szárnyakat, ahhoz olyan masszív szárnyszerkezet és bekötés kellene, ami túl súlyos lenne. Viszont a pörgést megállítani elég egyetlen pici rakétaként működő robbanótöltet, ami a pörgés irányába fújja ki az égésterméket (mint a függőlegesen induló rakétáknál, amiket egy-két ilyen apró töltet fordít a megfelelő cél-irányba).

Ennél sokkal egyszerűbb az, ha kinyíló áramlásterelő lemezeket használnak, ahogy pl. az Sz-5 szovjet/orosz nem irányított rakétán, csak az állásszögön kell változni és akkor ellenirányban hat.

Saudi Arabia – GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb I (SDB I) Munitions
WASHINGTON, December 29, 2020 -
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb I (SDB I) Munitions and related equipment for an estimated cost of $290 million.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy three thousand (3,000) GBU-39 SDB I munitions. Also included are containers; weapon support and support equipment; spare and repair parts; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistical support services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The total estimated program cost will be $290 million.
This proposed sale will support U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic growth in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Saudi Arabia’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing its stocks of long-range, precision air-to-ground munitions. The size and accuracy of the SDB I allows for an effective munition with less collateral damage. The potential sale will further strengthen the interoperability between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Boeing, St. Louis, MO. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential sale; however the purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

Saab brings in Nammo, Nordic Shelter for ground-launched small diameter bomb campaign
Az új megállapodást november 23-án jelentették be Oslóban, Norvégiában.
A Nammo a GLSDB meghajtási alrendszer részeként a rakétamotorok fejlesztésében és gyártásában szerzett szakértelmével járul hozzá. A Nordic Shelter egy moduláris GLSDB hordozórakéta kifejlesztéséhez és gyártásához szükséges ismereteket és tapasztalatokat hozza, egy 20 láb hosszú ISO-konténeren alapulva. (!!)
A GLSDB egy nagy hatótávolságú, precíziós tüzérségi rendszer, amelyet a Saab és a Boeing fejlesztett ki. A rendszer a Boeing légi indítású kis átmérőjű bombája, amely 2006 óta gyártásban van, több mint 30 000 egységgel.
A két vállalat még nem talált ügyfelet a GLSDB számára, amely lehetővé teszi a kis átmérőjű bomba földről indítását a hordozórakéták és konfigurációk széles választékából.
"A Nammo és a Nordic Shelter csapatával két nagyszerű norvég vállalatunk van, amelyek profitálhatnak a jövőbeli exportlehetőségekből, miközben kölcsönadják szakértelmüket, hogy a GLSDB még vonzóbb megoldássá váljanak. A rendszer hatótávolsága, 360 fokos lefedettsége és pontossága, valamint a diszkrét hordozórakéta konfigurációjának használata teszi a GLSDB-t egyedülállóvá a tüzérségi rendszerek között" – mondta Görgen Johansson, a Saab Dynamics üzletágának vezetője.
A vállalat specifikációi szerint a GLSDB hatótávolsága 150 kilométer, és egy méter sugarú körben nagy területen képes célpontokat eltalálni. A GLSDB képes nem ballisztikus röppályákat és manővereket repülni olyan célpontok megtámadására, amelyeket hagyományos közvetlen tűzfegyverekkel nem lehet elérni, például fordított lejtős elkötelezettséggel.
