  Captive carry - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
SpaceShipOne is carried beneath White Knight during a captive carry flight to test SpaceShipOne's aerodynamic and avionic performance.
Captive carry refers to a flight by a mothership (carrier aircraft) and spaceplane, rocket, or missile paired together in a parasite aircraft configuration.
Another application is transportation, as in the case of NASA ferrying operations for the Space Shuttle, involving Boeing 747-100 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

 Reptile Room - Captive Bred vs. Wild Caught
Captive produced reptiles are not only disease free, but are also almost always easier to handle and keep.
Captive bred specimens are preferable because they accept pre-killed rodents readily.
Captive bred animals are much hardier, but they still require proper husbandry.

All captives should be initiated with a serious commitment of time and financing, and this form is often a new venture within a larger firm in which the risk management department is planned to generate profits and contribute to the parent companies' bottom line.
The group or association captive is a structure in which multiple businesses join together either through a formal association or an informal relationship to use a captive to obtain coverage or limits otherwise unavailable.
The segregated protected cell, or sponsored captive, which is not permitted in all domiciles, has a structure in which an existing insurer or "captive," owned by an insurance company or service provider, assists in the creation of cells within itself.

 Redomicile Your Captive in Malta
It is hoped that redomiciliation will appeal to captive owners wishing to relocate their captive in Malta without a break in its legal existence and operations.
We are confident that redomiciliation will appeal to all those captive owners and operators who are eager to benefit from a Maltese domicile but are reluctant to wind-up operations in their present domicile and set up afresh elsewhere.
This ensures a smooth transition of domicile to Malta without a break in the fundamental legal existence and validity of the captive insurer and with an assurance to all insured parties and other creditors that the captive will be unable avoid payment merely as a result of its redomiciliation in Malta.

 X-43A Status Update: Captive Carry Rehearsal Flight Set For Sept 27
This captive carry flight is a "dress rehearsal" for the planned free flight later this fall that is targeted to reach a speed of up to Mach 10, or about 7,000 mph.
The captive flight duplicates all operational functions of the planned Mach 10 flight and serves as a training exercise for staff, except that the X-43A and its modified Pegasus booster are not released from the launch aircraft and their engines are not ignited.
Two leaky hydraulic packs on the B-52B mothership that forced the captive carry mission to be aborted before takeoff on two successive days in early September have been replaced.

 Captive Insurance
In particular, there has been significant growth in the captive insurance industry and the number of licences issued has increased by over 50% from 361 in 1994 to 543 at December 31, 2001.
This type of licence generally applies to pure captive situations where the insurance company writes policies only for its parent or for members of a closely held group.
A licensee may apply to the Governor in writing to surrender its licence if it has ceased to carry on the business in respect of which the licence was granted, or, if it is being wound up voluntarily and produces evidence that it is solvent and able to repay all its creditors.

 NASA - Captive Carry Test Prepares NASA For Next Hyper-X
The second of three unpiloted X-43A vehicles in NASA's Hyper-X program is being prepared for a no earlier than Jan. 24, 2004, captive carry flight, which is the dress rehearsal for its free flight currently scheduled for Feb. 21, 2004.
Investigation into the mishap showed that there was no single contributing factor but the root cause of the booster going off its trajectory was resolved through development of better analytical models and modification of the control system in the booster.
Now, the booster will carry less propellant and will be released from 40,000 feet instead of 20,000 feet as was done in the first flight.

During the first of several "captive-carry" flights between the X-34 technology testbed demonstrator and its L-1011 carrier aircraft, the prototype spacecraft remained locked to the belly of the L-1011.
Additional flights will be required to examine the entire flight profile for the X-34 and its carrier before subsequent air-launched and unpowered approach and landing flights, scheduled for later this year, can take place.
The panel was located on the bottom, aft fuselage of the carrier aircraft, behind the X-34.

Captive carry flight testing of seekers and sensors (or other units-under-test) uses airborne platforms to provide a means of moving the unit-under-test relative to a target.
This allows near simultaneous captive flight tests that should remove the effects of various physical variations (meteorological and target conditions) from comparison or competitive tests.

 Air launch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It may also be stored within a bomb bay, beneath the main body or even on the back of the carrier aircraft, as in the case of the D-21 drone.
One of the earliest uses of air launching used an airship as a carrier and docking station for biplane parasite fighters.
In contrast, captive carry is the practice of carrying one aircraft attached to another for an entire flight, without midair docking or release.

 Air Power:The B-52 Bomber
Varying changes to the bomb bays and wings increased the plane’s carrying ability from either 27 conventional bombs or one 43,000-pound (19,504-kilogram) nuclear weapon to all types of bombs and missiles such as gravity bombs, cluster bombs, precision guided missiles, Short-Range Attack Missiles (SRAM), advanced cruise missiles, and many more.
This campaign carried out tactical carpet bombing of South Vietnam, an assignment for which the plane was not equipped and the crews were not trained; consequently, the results were not good.
Finally, in December 1972, the strategic skills of the B-52 were unleashed over North Vietnam for eleven days in a successful attempt to force North Vietnam to negotiate peace terms.
