Arresting cable systems are widely used in aircraft carriers and land-based airfields to rapidly decelerate a landing aircraft. Due to the limited runway length and high landing velocity of aircrafts, the arresting gear system is an essential component of aircraft carriers for normal aircraft recovery and is also equipped in land-based airfields …

For the safety problems caused by the limited landing space of the deck during the arresting process of the carrier-based aircraft, a dynamic model of the …
Hello to all aviation enthusiasts. This time I would like to present You the details of how the arresting system on aircraft carriers works. I will be gratef...
Engineered Materials Arresting Systems, or EMAS, which is constructed of high energy-absorbing materials of selected strength, is located in the safety area beyond the end of the runway, recognized by Yellow Chevrons [ Figure 1] EMAS is designed to crush under the weight of commercial aircraft and they exert deceleration forces on the landing gear.
The EMALS system is a multi-megawatt electric power system involving generators, energy storage, power conversion, a 1,00,000 hp electric motor, and an advanced technology closed loop control system with built in performance monitoring. It is planned to replace the current steam catapult being used on all US aircraft carriers.
The arresting process of carrier-based aircraft is a challenging task for the coupling effect between aircraft and arresting gear system. The aircraft approaches …

An arresting gear, or arrestor gear, is a mechanical system used to rapidly decelerate an aircraft as it lands. Arresting gear on aircraft carriers is an essential component of naval aviation, and it is most commonly used on CATOBAR and STOBAR aircraft carriers. Similar systems are also found at land-based airfields for expeditionary or emergency use. Typical systems consist of several steel w…

The performance goals for the EMALS are:90,000,000 ft-lbs. of energy capability, an end speed range between 55 and 200 knots, a peak to mean acceleration of 1.05 for all aircraft launches ...
Carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require precise evaluation methods for their landing and arresting safety due to their high autonomy and demanding reliability requirements. In this paper, an efficient and accurate simulation method is presented for studying the arresting hook engaging arresting cable process. The finite …
The electromagnetic arresting device is smaller in size, which can save more space and make the internal layout of the aircraft carrier more flexible. In addition, since the hydraulic system is eliminated, maintenance and overhaul are also simpler, which greatly improves the aircraft carrier''s attendance rate.

The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is a type of electromagnetic catapult system developed by General Atomics for the United States Navy. The system launches carrier-based aircraft by means of a catapult employing a linear induction motor rather than the conventional steam piston. EMALS was first installed on the lead ship of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier
