A mobile aircraft launcher that includes a wheeled trailer adapted to be towed by a land vehicle with a launch beam mounted on the trailer. The launch beam includes a plurality of beam sections hinged to one another. The launch beam being movable between a folded, transport condition, in which the beam sections are generally side-by-side, and a launch condition, in which the beam sections are colinear to define a continuous rectilinear beam. The mobile aircraft launcher also includes an aircraft-engaging shuttle mounted on the launch beam for movement along the length of the launch beam. The mobile aircraft launcher also includes a shuttle-moving drive arrangement mounted on the trailer and at least one jack secured to the trailer. The jack is adjustable between a) a first adjustment condition, in which the jack supports the launch beam in a horizontal attitude to facilitate the movement of the launch beam between its folded, transport condition and its launch condition, and b) a second adjustment condition, in which the jack supports the launch beam in an inclined position for launch.

La présente invention concerne un lance-aéronefs mobile comportant une remorque sur roues tractée par un véhicule terrestre et une rampe de lancement montée sur la remorque. Cette rampe de lancement est composée d'une pluralité de sections articulées ensemble. De plus, elle est mobile entre une position repliée de transport, dans laquelle les sections de la rampe sont généralement côte à côte, et une position de lancement, dans laquelle les sections de la rampe sont colinéaires et forment une rampe rectiligne continue. Par ailleurs, ce lance-aéronefs mobile comprend une navette venant en prise avec un aéronef montée sur la rampe de lancement, le long de laquelle elle coulisse. Le lance-aéronefs comprend également un système d'entraînement de navette monté sur la remorque, et au moins une chandelle fixée à la remorque. Cette chandelle peut être réglée entre: a) une première position de réglage dans laquelle elle maintient la rampe de lancement à l'horizontale pour faciliter le déplacement de la rampe de lancement entre sa position repliée de transport et sa position de lancement, et b) une seconde position de réglage dans laquelle elle maintient la rampe de lancement inclinée en vue du lancement.
