	RAF - Mauser and Aden Cannon
		The Aden cannon is a fully automatic, single-barrelled, five-chambered rotating cylinder gun, which is fitted to the Jaguar GR3 and the Hawk T1A.
		The single Aden cannon operated by the Hawk T1A is housed in an external gun-pod assembly bolted to the underside of the fuselage on the centre-line of the aircraft.
		The cannon is able to fire ball ammunition or high-explosive-tipped rounds and is used by the Hawk for air-to-air and air-to-ground training and by the Jaguar in the air-to-ground role.

	Historical background
		The expression Arabia Felix, or the Happy Arabia, was used already in the ancient world, in the time of the Queen of Sheba (10 centuries BC) which was surrounded by a sense of mystery and the air of unimaginable wealth and luxury.
		The modern history of Yemen began with the desire of foreign powers – the Turks in the north and the British in the south – to control the crucial trade routes that passed through the area.
		However, in 1946 one of the Imam’s sons joined the rebels in Aden; he became the leading figure of the resistance.

	tScholars.com \| ADEN cannon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The ADEN (named for the Armament Development Establishment, where it was designed, and Enfield, where it is produced) was developed in the late 1940s as a replacement for the older Hispano-Suiza HS 404 20 mm cannon used in British aircraft of World War II.
		It is based (as are the French DEFA and American M39 cannon) on the mechanism of the German Mauser MG 213C, an experimental revolver cannon designed for the Luftwaffe, but never used in combat.
		The ADEN is very similar to the French DEFA cannon, and the two weapons use the same range of 30 mm ammunition.

		Regardless of whether Aden bred the hosta, or acquired it from others, Aden knew a good garden variety when he saw it.
		Unfortunately, Aden is quite secretive to the point of refusing to discuss or attempt to clarify these confusions.

		It is based (as are the French DEFA and American M39 cannon) on the mechanism of the German Mauser MG213C, an experimental revolver cannon designed for the Luftwaffe, but never used in combat.
		The ADEN entered service on the Hawker Hunter in 1954, and subsequently used on every British gun-armed aircraft until the advent of the Panavia Tornado in the 1980s.
		Aircraft using the ADEN 30 as in-built armament have included the English Electric Lightning, Folland Gnat (and HAL Ajeet), Hawker Hunter, Gloster Javelin, Saab Lansen, Saab Draken, Supermarine Scimitar, and Australian versions of the F-86 Sabre.

		The archetypal revolver cannon is the Mauser MK 213, from which almost all current weapons were copied to one extent or another.
		The Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon of the late 1800s was not a revolver cannon in the modern sense, being of a Gatling type.
		The first revolver cannon was the Puckle gun, which was a manual revolver cannon as opposed to automatic one.

		Developments in armament, notably the introduction of the 20mm cannon by the RAF, generally led to the disappearance of the bomber destroyer from most air forces.
		This was due to the introduction of improved high-speed cannons, notably the British Aden[?] and French DEFA[?].
		Missiles could do considerably more damage than a cannon, at longer range, were lighter, and kept the fighters out of the range of the defensive guns on the bombers.

	[1.0] Hunter Development & Variants
		The mounting for the cannon pack was reinforced, since early on the Hunter demonstrated some stress and cracking from the cannon recoil, and an air scoop was added in the nose that popped open while the cannon were being fired to flush out any potentially explosive buildup of muzzle gases.
		The cannon blast deflectors were not fitted, since they were not seen as necessary for a machine that operated at low altitudes in the ground-attack role.
		Their Aden cannon were deleted and the muzzle ports faired over, while the radar ranging gunsight was deleted as well.

		With conventional large cannon, the firing rate is limited by the time it takes for the breechblock to be driven rearwards to extract the fired case and then travel forward again to load the next round.
		This "revolver" cannon should not be confused with the "rotary" cannon which is similar in operation but has a barrel attached to each cylinder, the whole contraption spinning round as it fires.
		Against small and agile targets the Aden's low velocity is a distinct handicap which explains the RAF's choice of a 25 mm version of the Aden, whose 25 x 137 ammunition fires a lighter shell but at a muzzle velocity of 1,100 m/sec and with a 50% higher rate of fire, for the Harrier GR7.

	Saab 37 Viggen
		By the time this version was in final design, it was clear that guns were definitely useful, so it was given the most powerful cannon a fighter has had, a 30 mm Oerlikon KCA with 150 rounds.
		Even if it's not followed, the pitch and yaw channels have enough authority to precision aim the cannon, reducing pilot workload letting him or her concentrate on tactics and situational awareness.
		The external tank is the same size as on the other versions, but because there's a bulge where the gun is installed, there is no room for the abbrevited top fin of the tank, instead of three fins, this tank has four fins, in a flattened 'X'.

		There are no embrasures for cannon, nor is the structure massive enough to resist artillery; but as it was built for frontier defense, it was probably rather a garrison for riflemen than a regular...
		It was armed with four 23 millimeter cannon that could pivot downward, and was also fitted with a tail turret, apparently with a single 23 millimeter cannon.
		Attacking with a mixture of rockets and gun cannon ammunition, the station was soon left a smoldering wreck.

	The WWII Fighter Gun Debate: Postscript
		Four 20mm cannon were carried by the last piston-engined fighters and the straight-wing jet fighters.
		The F-4 and F-106 appeared without cannon, but like the USN the USAF had to change its mind because of combat experience, and during the Vietnam war cannon were installed in these fighters.
		Hence the advantage of the rotary cannon is minimal or non-existent during a short burst.

		6/30/2006 5:08:01 AM Not having cannon was one of the worst ideas in defense procurement, especially given the compelling evidence of the effectiveness of cannon.
		The 25mm Aden cannon was intended to be used on the GR-5/7s, but development problems led to cancellation, and the government decided to 'save money', as usual.
		The USMC developed underbody strakes, which improve handling, to be carried when the cannon is not needed, but the RAF do not seem to use them (I may be wrong though).

	The English Electric (BAC) Lightning
		The Aden cannon in the top of the nose were actually not often fired since they blinded the pilot.
		The F.53, like the F.6, could accommodate two 30 millimeter Aden cannon in the front of the ventral tank, and in fact this feature was developed for the F.53 and then retrofitted to the F.6.
		The Lightning was superior in terms of gun armament, however, since RAF Phantoms were limited to carriage of a centerline 20 millimeter Vulcan cannon pod, which lacked both the accuracy and the hitting power of the Lightning's twin Aden cannon.

	M39 cannon at AllExperts
		The M39 was developed by the Springfield Armory, based on the World War II-era design of the German Mauser MG 213, a 20 mm (and 30 mm) cannon developed for the Luftwaffe, but not used in combat.
		The same design inspired the British ADEN cannon and the French DEFA, but American designers chose a smaller 20 mm round to increase the weapon's rate of fire and muzzle velocity at the expense of hitting power.
		The M39 is not the same as the Hispano M3 derivatives used by the Navy (as the M3 and the later Colt Mk 12 cannon) on aircraft like the A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader, nor the Hispano-derived M24 used by some USAF aircraft of the late 1940s.

		The no cannon fit, it seems, is gathering momentum in the MoD and I wouldn't put it past it if the UK decision was to delete the cannon fit on their JSF proposal.
		The 25mm Aden cannon fitted on the RAF Harrier fleet have now been withdrawn and the whole project abandoned.
		The cannon will not, under current plans, be supported in service and it is expected to be later removed and replaced with appropriate ballast in its place.

		This complexity is revealed by the example of a strike by a delay-fuzed HEI cannon projectile.
		This chosen ratio is based on a study of many practical examples of gun and ammunition testing, and we will see below that it at least approximately corresponds with the known results of ammunition testing.
		To illustrate how this works: a typical cannon shell consists of 10% HE or incendiary material by weight.

		It had originally been planned to replace the six 0.50-inch machine guns of the F-86 with the standard British armament of four 20-mm cannon, but in August 1952 the decision was made to adopt a pair of 30-mm Aden cannon.
		The Aden cannon was a development of the World War 2 Mauser MG213 cannon, and had a rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute and a 2600 ft/sec muzzle velocity.
		The cannon were mounted in the original 0.50-inch machine gun bays, but staggered, and the starboard weapon was mounted inverted and 8 inches forward of the port weapon.

		Hawks are used to teach operational tactics such as air-to-air and air-to-ground firing, air combat and low-level operating procedures to pilots destined for the 'fast-jet' squadrons.
		As a weapons trainer, the Hawk is armed with an Aden cannon carried beneath the fuselage, and rocket pods or practice bombs can be fitted to under-wing pylons.
		To fulfil its mobilisation role as a fighter aircraft, the Hawk carries a 30 mm Aden cannon and two Sidewinder air‑to‑air missiles, and is designated T1A (89 delivered to the RAF).

		The RF35s retained twin Aden cannon and had stores pylons, giving them a secondary attack capability, and were given some of the same modernizations provided to the F35s in the 1980s.
		These were similar to the J35F, but had twin Aden cannon; a revised avionics suite; and lacked the fire-control radar needed for the Hughes Falcon, relying instead on the Sidewinder.
		Initially, the J35Os were solely armed with their twin Aden cannon, as Austria's neutrality agreements prevented the fighters from carrying Sidewinders or other AAMs.
