The BRU-71 pylon is installed on which aircraft?

• A. MQ-9
• B. F-16
• C. F-15E
• D. A-10

Answer: (A)

Pylon compatibility and mounting interfaces determine which aircraft can actually use a specific pylon. The BRU-71 is a wing-mounted pylon designed for the flight platforms that have the corresponding mounting interface on their wing stations, and it is used with the MQ-9 Reaper. The other aircraft listed—F-16, F-15E, and A-10—have different wing station designs and rely on other pylon families that match their load paths and attachment points, so the BRU-71 isn’t standard on them. In short, the BRU-71’s association with the MQ-9 comes from the aircraft’s specific wing-station interface, not from a universal fit across all platforms.
