Tick any checkbox here to add a certain type of equipment to the aircraft. ĭon't forget to add a JATO button on the Panel, too! Alternative method: Enter something remotely sensible for specific weight, then check the resulting JATO weight as indicated on the Weight and Balance sheet, then go back to Special Controls and make a better guess.If you know that a JATO unit delivers 4400 lb(f) (=pound-force) of thrust and burns for 6 seconds, and that its weight is 73.3 lbs, you can calculate the specific weight as follows: Note on the weight: Duration is in seconds, specific weight is in pounds per pound-force per hour. Note on the geometry: You should make sure that the thrust line of the JATO unit runs approximately through the centre-of-gravity of your aircraft! Else lighting and burn-out of the JATO rocket will introduce a trim change - the more powerful the rocket, the worse the trim change. For geometry JATO long arm, JATO vert(ical) arm, JATO angle.These are usually solid-propellant rockets, but historically liquid-fueled rockets have been used, too. Jet assisted take-off or JATO is actually a strange military term for single-use rockets that are fired (typically) on take-off to reduce the ground run.
