Claim 0:
1. A side-ways ejection arrangement (1) configured for storing and launching a payload (3), comprising:
a payload (3) stored and launched by the arrangement (1),
a push-out chamber (7),
a launch compartment (5) comprising an ejection device (4) configured to eject the payload (3) from the launch compartment (5) via the push-out chamber (7) to an airflow (AF) that, during use of the arrangement (1), flows over an aerodynamic surface (9) of the arrangement (1), and
an air intake (13) formed in the aerodynamic surface (9) and coupled to the launch compartment (5) via an internal air transfer arrangement (17) comprising an openable closure member (11) configured to close and open the internal air transfer arrangement (17),
wherein:
the air intake (13) is configured to transfer flow of air to the launch compartment (5) via the internal air transfer arrangement (17) such that the flow of air flowing into the launch compartment (5) will affect the payload (3) being ejected with an additional push-out force, and
an eject force of the ejection device (4) is added with said additional push-out force.
