What is the length of the strap on the A-7A Cargo Sling?

The A-7A Cargo Sling is designed to facilitate the secure transport and deployment of cargo by air. The length of the strap is specified to be 188 inches, which is crucial for ensuring that the sling can effectively accommodate a variety of load sizes while maintaining proper safety and operational standards during rigging and airborne operations. This precise measurement helps ensure that the sling performs adequately under load and provides the necessary reach for attachments to delivery systems. Other variations in strap lengths, such as 180 inches, 200 inches, or 220 inches, do not meet the requirements set for the A-7A Cargo Sling, which is specifically engineered for its designated use.
