Fin can for a 4 Fin Black Brant 2

Bobby,

Is that fin can for the BLACK BRANT IIA ?

The fins don't match the planform for the BLACK BRANT II.

Thanks,

Dave F.

I located a PDF file with some usable BBV data ( fins )

Black Brant 2B
Actually there were only a few Black Brant 2 Vehicles that had 3 fins.
Most of the Black Brant 2 Vehicles had 4 fins
There were several versions of fins used on the Black Brant 2 vehicles

In case you were wondering what one looks like , Here is a photo of a Black Brant 2 Igniter
The white tube is filled with small chunks of propellant .
The igniter screws into the top of the motor and injects a flame down the middle of the motor core

This type of igniter was also used on other Black Brant rockets
