Determination of Characteristic Loading Behavior of MK7-1 and MK7-2 Arresting Gears by Analysis of Airplane Test Data. Appendix F
Abstract
During analysis of the Mk7-3 arresting gear (presented in Appendix D of this report) considerable differences were observed in the loading characteristics of data from airplane and dead load tests. The airplane tests showed better arresting gear efficiency in the lower weight range. Since the loading behavior of the Mk7-1 and Mk7-2 arresting gears presented in the main body of this report were determined using some dead load test data and since a considerable amount of new aircraft test data had been generated since the original analysis, it was decided to analyze this data to currently assess the loads imparted to aircraft operating from these gears. It was also desired that the effects of the new heavier (1 7/16 inch diameter) purchase cable on loading behavior of these gear also be assessed. The loading characteristics of the Mk7- 1 and Mk7-2 arresting gears as given in this Appendix supersede and make obsolete those given for the same gears in the main body of the report. The basic objective of the program was the establishment of the characteristic loading behavior as a function of aircraft weight and aircraft engaging speed. This includes statistical analysis to determine loading behavior based on a probability of occurrence.
