Abstract

The turret weight problems are more numerous today than they were 8 years ago. This is due to the complexity of turret design. Eight years ago the aircraft gun turret was simply a mounting arrangement for one or two guns. Today the turret installation consists of complex radar and electronic equipment. Aside from the complex installation, the weight of any turret installation has increased many times.
