Summary
[edit]DescriptionRyan Firebee BQM-34A "Drone".jpg |
English: From the museum website:
The primary mission of Firebee was to simulate tactical threats by enemy aircraft and missiles for defense readiness training, air-to-air combat training and the development and evaluation of weapons systems. It could fly as fast as Mach 0.97, at levels as low as 10 ft above the sea surface, or at altitudes as high as 60,000 ft. It was capable of performing seven-g turns while maintaining high airspeeds for realistic threat presentations. With its high-thrust engine, advanced microprocessor flight control system, rugged airframe, and wide assortment of mission augmentation systems, the BQM-34 Firebee was the premier high performance aerial target system in use during the 1960's. It could be readily modified to meet other special tactical UAV mission needs. Such performance, with the ability to survive the hits and near misses of repeated missions and return to fly again, explains why the Firebee has been in constant use by two American military services for more than five decades. The Firebee at the Combat Air Museum was recovered in Nebraska (see image at bottom) in three main pieces and it has been restored jointly by Museum volunteers and by the Washburn Institute of Technology Auto Collision students, beginning in August 2012, to it's original configuration and Air Force paint scheme. It was reassembled and mounted outside the main hangar at the Museum in September 2015 on the same (restored) mounting stand.
