Comparative analysis of different cable of electromagnetic arresting gear

The electromagnetic arresting gear is one type aircraft arresting gear. It's electromagnetic force can be adjusted precisely, and it is an important safeguard that it arrests the aircraft veering off the runway and ensures the aircrafts safely landing. Arresting cable is an essential part of arresting gear, and its performance has a significant impact on arresting process. This paper studies the dynamics principle of arresting cable during arresting process. The impact of arresting cable with different materials on arresting gearing performance was analyzed. Research shows that comparing with steel cable, compound cable can reduce the negative arresting acceleration of plane, the tension of cable and the arresting electromagnetic torque output effectively. Furthermore compound cable enable the closed-loop control more smoothly, which is more conducive to arresting aircraft safely.
