Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fin sets are used on these Mk82 bombs?

The Mk82 bombs shown are equipped with BSU-86/B high-drag fin sets, specifically designed for low-level drops to increase stability and drag.

What information is found on the NAVAIR identification plate?

The NAVAIR identification plate on the fin assembly typically includes details like FIN, BOMB, the specific model (BSU 86A/B), its National Stock Number (NSN), and the manufacturer's logo, such as CAPCO.

What is the purpose of high-drag fins on bombs?

High-drag fins increase the aerodynamic drag on a bomb after release. This slows its descent, allowing the aircraft to fly lower and faster, reducing exposure to enemy defenses.
