Deflated pneumatic lifting bag modules are stacked under the wings of the aircraft. Air supply hoses are connected to pneumatic control consoles and the modules are inflated to the desired height, thereby raising the aircraft. Each of the 15 and 26 ton pneumatic lifting bag assemblies consist of 5 pneumatic modules, 15 hose assemblies, 4 protective pads, and a repair kit. Each pneumatic module consists of 3 elements made from fabric. Each element is a self-contained compartment that is designed to be inflated with air. Approximately 80,000 drop stitches internally connect the top and bottom of the element to prevent deformation when pressurized. Each element has two ports which are molded into the bag, one for a relief valve, the other for a gasketed adapter and socket that provides for attachment of an air hose assembly. The elements are attached together around the edges with fabric. Each pneumatic module has handles and Velcro patches that allow attachment of one module to another to form a 5 module stack. Two protective pads are placed above and below the stack during operation. The repair kit provides materials necessary to patch damaged areas of the pneumatic modules. The pneumatic lifting bags are designed and configured to operate in conjunction with a pneumatic console, NSN 1730-01-305-6846, to form a complete aircraft recovery system. Pneumatic lifting bag systems are universally deployed throughout the world for use on a wide range of aircraft. Dates and places of delivery will be determined with each order.
