1/48 CENTERLINE PYLON FOR F-111 (3D PRINTING)

The "centerline pylon" for the F-111 is a structure mounted under the fuselage of the F-111 Aardvark aircraft, a two-seat tactical fighter bomber developed in the United States in the 1960s and used by both the U.S. Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force.

The "centerline pylon" is one of the external cargo pylons mounted on the F-111 and is located in the center of the fuselage, under the aircraft. This pylon is used to carry and support various external cargoes, such as bombs, missiles, or additional fuel tanks.

During ground attack missions, the F-111 could use the "centerline pylon" to carry bombs and missiles under the fuselage, thus increasing its war load capacity and operational flexibility. The centerline pylon was particularly useful for carrying large bombs or missiles that required a balanced, central location under the aircraft.

The use of external cargo pylons, such as the "centerline pylon," allowed the F-111 to adapt to different combat missions, providing greater capability for attack and close air support. These pylons allowed the aircraft to be flexibly configured to meet the specific needs of military operations.
