Write four uses of hydraulic missile launcher
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The recognition of the guided missile as a realistic military weapon has opened another field for the application of fluid flow principles. In commercial aircraft design, hydraulics has long been an established workhorse; its power operates landing flaps, landing gear, shock struts, brakes, propeller pitch controls, turret drives, autopilots, servos, and similar assemblies.

The new fields of supersonic aircraft and guided missile flight will, undoubtedly, put further demands on the hydraulics industry to deliver hitherto unprecedented performance to satisfy new design and operating requirements.
For the purpose of clarification, a guided missile differs from the normal concept of conventional aircraft in that it is essentially a flying body stabilized in altitude, which can be guided through space, either by remote control or by means of self-contained guidance equipment, to a specified target. Another difference is that once a missile is fired or launched, it is, except through radio links, beyond manual operation or manipulation of integral equipment. Accordingly, if the mission is to succeed to any degree, equipment must function properly and dependably.
