High Pressure Pneumatic System Prevents Critical Errors for Fighter Jets Missiles could not separate from the bay of $120-million fighter jets if released above Mach 1 speeds, causing critical pilot and aircraft danger. At speeds lower than Mach 1, the fighter jets could be located and attacked. EPIC Systems provided a custom high pressure pneumatic system, designed to allow our nation’s pilots to deploy weaponry at high speeds approaching Mach 2. Client: Boeing Industry: Military and Defense Key Engineering Features: High pressure aluminum and fiberglass air tanks allow a large volume of air to rapidly disperse CD (convergent/divergent) nozzle array discharges an air curtain to redirect air flow around the aircraft fuselage, allowing missiles to disengage from the plane during high spe
