Reliability of the Mark 7 Mod 3 Arresting Gear

Abstract

Failure data obtained during tests with the Mark 7 Mod 3 arresting- gear system was used to determine reliability by two methods: First, by finding an empirical relationship between total number of failures and service life and then deriving the functional relationship of reliability to service life and mission size. Reliability thus obtained was independent of service life and decreased for increasing mission size. Next, reliability was determined by applying the failure data to the geometric failure distribution. Using this failure distribution, 95-percent confidence interval curves for reliability were calculated.
