Flare Racks and Mounts
Superior flare firing solutions
Racks & Mounting Options
Including installation and certification
We provide a wide range of racks and mounting options for our flare products. These racks can be fitted on aircraft ranging from a Cessna 172 to a King Air 350. We can offer a turnkey solution which includes the racks, the aircraft installation and the certification work. Our experts handle the certification paperwork (STC) either for the FAA or EASA aviation authority. STCs approved either by the FAA or EASA are typically accepted by every other local aviation authority.

The two other photos show a high end installation on two different turbo propeller aircrafts (Piper Cheyenne and King Air 350) with a flare rack allowing to mount the ZEUS, TARHUNNA or TARU product.
Dispensers for IKARUS ejectable flares
Maximum efficiency on your seeding missions
CST supplies an aviation certified ejectable flare dispenser system for mounting on the belly of a cloud seeding aircraft. The system is designed, developed and produced by an OEM company whose core business is to produce such dispenser systems. The system comprises an array of four flare magazines mounted under the aircraft belly, each holding 90 ejectable glaciogenic flares, and a control unit installed in the cockpit. All sizes of CST ejectable flares fit into and can be fired from the same flare holders. The magazine assembly is attached to the aircraft by angles or adapters tailored to the specific aircraft installation.
