This illustration depicts the unusual method developed to enable the F-84F to deliver a nuclear warhead by "tossing" the "Shape" from the Thunderstreak high into the air as the plane was slightly past vertical into a loop. This toss would enable the F-84F to complete the loop and exit the area before the bomb descended to detonate.
