| Abstract: |
In this article, arrestment of an aircraft by a hydraulic twister based system is modeled and reduced to simple design charts. We are primarily interested in performance parameters like maximum deceleration, run-out distance, and maximum tape force. We first present a simplified mechanical model for the system. Some analytical progress is possible with the governing nonlinear differential equation, yielding expressions for velocity and acceleration in terms of displacement. The system has only two nondimensional parameters. This allows us to present simple design charts for the performance parameters. The same approach is extended to secondary performance parameters namely maximum jerk and the time at which maximum deceleration occurs. We choose some practical parameter sets and demonstrate the use of our charts. These charts can be used for design calculations and quick performance prediction of an arresting gear design for different weight classes of aircraft and practical initial velocities.
