CHAPTER 8
A8-1. Ejection seats, canopy ejection systems, aircraft bomb racks, and launchers.
A8-2. A chemical used to ignite combustible substances.
A8-3. Items that are NOT normally separated from the aircraft in flight.
A8-4. An explosive is a material that is capable of producing an explosion by its own
energy.
A8-5. High explosives and low explosives.
A8-6. The bursting effect prevents its use in ammunition and gun systems because the gas
pressure formed could burst the barrel of a weapon.
A8-7. Low explosives are solid combustible materials that decompose rapidly but do not
normally explode.
A8-8. Ordnance identification provides working and safety information, such as service/
nonservice ammunition, class of explosives, and color codes representing the
explosive hazards.
A8-9. Color codes identify the explosive hazards within the ordnance.
A8-10. Bomb body, suspending lugs, fuzing, and fin assemblies.
A8-11. Full scale and sub-caliber practice bombs.
A8-12. Antitank bomb cluster and antipersonnel/anti-material bomb cluster.
A8-13. The Mighty Mouse and the Zuni rockets.
A8-14. At least 100 miles.
A8-15. The Mach number is "the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the
medium through which the object is moving."
A8-16. Subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic.
