GT-1 (missile)
The GT-1 (Glide Torpedo 1) was an early form of missile developed by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. Intended to deliver an aerial torpedo at a safe range from the launching aircraft, the weapon proved successful enough in testing to be approved for operational use, and the GT-1 saw limited use in the closing stages of the war.
==Design and development==
The GT-1 was derived from the GB-1 series of glide bombs, developed by Aeronca for the United States Army Air Forces.〔Parsch 2003〕 The weapon's airframe was inexpensive and simply designed, with a basic wing and twin tails attached to a cradle for carrying the payload.〔 The flight path of the GT-1 was determined by a preset autopilot that kept the weapon on a steady course after release.〔
The GT-1 was usually released from its carrier aircraft at an altitude of ; this provided a standoff range of as much as under ideal conditions.〔''Esquire'' 1947; (Volume 28, p.70 ).〕〔 The GT-1's warload consisted of a Mark 13 Mod 2A aerial torpedo. The GT-1 was fitted with a paravane, trailing below the main body of the craft; upon the paravane's striking the surface of the water, explosive bolts would fire to release the torpedo, which would then execute a preset search pattern to locate and destroy its target.〔〔
