Hook Bounce Test of the E-2A Airplane Arresting Gear 'A' Frame

Abstract

A laboratory hook bounce test was performed on an E-2A arresting gear 'A' frame to determine whether the 'A' frame could sustain the effects of 3,000 arrested landings. A total of 6,000 simulated hook bounce cycles were applied to the 'A' frame during the test with no structural failures. With a test scatter factor of 2, the 6,000 test cycles are equivalent to 3,000 service arrested landings.
