Cranked Pylon and its Adapters


The cranked pylon consists of a multipurpose pylon and a range of four other pylons that can be attached to it to carry different weapons and pods. The oblique construction of the multipurpose pylon is due to the position of the main gear and the wing pivot center.
Additionally to the pylons that are shown below, the LANTIRN pod can be installed to the multipurpose pylon on the starboard side.
