The ALRE (Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment) Parallel Pendant

Abstract

Currently there is no consistent source to produce the ALRE Parallel Pendant. In addition, the drawings have made changes that prohibit cost savings and can raise the cost by as much as 10x to meet the specifications. Fiber Rope is not as rigid in construction as wire rope. Each length of rope can vary in the final elongation. Several factors including, Elastic Elongation (EE), Elastic Hysteresis, and most importantly Permanent Extension (PE) after relaxation can cause variations in the end product even when following the exact same processes and procedures to complete the eye splice. Our proposal was to do the research to develop a SAR Package, which was completed.
