Abstract
The ballistic element is made with a main body of non-metallic material, such as, from filaments of glass, aramid, carbon and basaltic fibers. The ballistic element also has heads of metal at opposite ends of the main body. A tubular liner of plastic may be disposed with the main body about an axial cavity for a detonating charge. The main body may also have one or more inserts for receiving one of an anchor bolt and a suspension component of an aircraft for use of the element as an aircraft bomb.
Claims11
A ballistic element comprising
- a main body made completely in a composite non-metallic material having a lateral wall of tubular configuration developed around a longitudinal main axis of said main body and defining an axial cavity delimiting a housing area for receiving an internal charge, at least one strengthening rib on said lateral wall extending substantially longitudinally of said axis and two terminal sections, each said terminal section being disposed at a respective extremity of said lateral wall;
- and
- a pair of heads, each said head being fastened directly to a respective terminal section of said main body.
A ballistic element
- comprising a main body made completely in a composite non-metallic material having a lateral wall of tubular configuration developed around a longitudinal main axis of said main body and defining an axial cavity delimiting a housing area for receiving an internal charge, a plurality of strengthening ribs on said lateral wall uniformly distributed around said axis, and two terminal sections, each said terminal section being disposed at a respective extremity of said lateral wall;
- and
- a pair of heads, each said head being fastened directly to a respective terminal section of said main body.
