Ercoupe-JATO

[Doug Davis]

Jolly: I was at the "ZOO" yesterday, and was quite busy.  Didn't have a lot of time to research the subject, and what I found is probably "old news".  The event took place in August , 1941 between  what looks like a "super Cub" and a JATO equipped Ercoupe.    From What I can gather from the photo I now have, the JATO unit was relatively small probably 75 to 100LBS., was singular and was mounted under the aft section of the center section airframe. Sorry I have nothing further right now, but will look further next time ( couple of weeks).  I'm sure there is something more I can find relative to the thrust, weight, and installation to be found.  If anyone has any information on these points, pleaselet us know.
