Method for determining a distance between two external stores on an aircraft or aerial vehicle and aircraft with at least two external stores. The method includes separating one of the two stores from the aircraft or aerial vehicle in flight, and determining a chronological course of a distance during the separation operation with at least one magnetic field sensor.

Method for determining the distance between two external stores on an aircraft or aerial vehicle during the separation of one of the external stores

Apparatus for reducing the installation moments of an external load installed at at least one fastening station of an aircraft includes a ramp arranged in front of the shoulder station relative to the direction of flight. The height of the ramp increases toward the fastening station, and the end of the ramp that is located in proximity of the shoulder station forms a break-off edge that is disposed at a predetermined distance from the outer side of the external load that is directed toward the break-off edge, in order to influence pitch moments and yawing moments of the external load.
