Mounting set, system and method

A mounting system comprising at least one mounting set for use in selectively mounting and deploying a stores with respect to a mounting station of an aerospace vehicle, the or each mounting set comprising a mounting bracket arrangement and a strap arrangement, said bracket arrangement configured for selective reversible engagement with respect to the mounting station and for cooperating with said strap arrangement, said strap arrangement being configured for securing the bracket arrangement to the stores in load bearing abutment therewith to enable transfer of loads between the stores and the mounting station via said bracket arrangement when said bracket arrangement is engaged with the mounting station, said bracket arrangement being selectively disengageable from the mounting station to enable corresponding deployment of said stores from said vehicle.

A mounting set for use in mounting a pressure vessel to a dynamic platform, the pressure vessel comprising an external surface having a perimeter that is variable within a range during operation of said pressure vessel, the mounting set comprising at least one strap configured for circumscribing at least a majority of said external surface in a direction substantially parallel to said perimeter and in load bearing abutment with said external surface, and further comprising at least one mounting bracket configured for reversible engagement with respect to said dynamic platform and for transferring loads between the or said straps and said dynamic platform, the or each said straps being configured for providing support to said pressure vessel with respect to said dynamic platform while accommodating said variation of said perimeter within said range.
