Abstract

1,141,222. Aircraft arresting gear. E. W. BLISS CO. 11 July, 1966 [27 July, 1965], No. 30966/66. Heading B7G. [Also in Divisions F2 and F3] A test missile 13 is allowed a period of free flight following an upward launch and then arrested for recovery. The period of free flight is determined by the slack in a loose bridle 34, 35 made of tape woven from synthetic yarn such as nylon, which is hitched to the sides of the launching tube 12 by connectors 40. Additional tape 29, 30 joined by these connectors is paid out from two reels 27, 28 at a rate sufficient to prevent excessive tape stress, the rate of tape payout being reduced after the reels have accelerated to the missile velocity thereby to slow the missile to a stalling speed. The rate of payout is again increased as the missile approaches zero velocity to relieve the tape stress, and the payout is halted at the apogee. The missile has guides which run up guide cables (16, 17), Fig. 2 (not shown), connected to a crane boom 18 whereat the missile is checked and from which it can be lowered. In another form, a single arresting tape (T), Fig. 12 (not shown), is led rearwardly from the missile to a brake (251) and is hitched to the loose bridle (5). The plate type friction brake, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown), is adjusted by hydraulic cylinders (60) and has a low inertia drum (27). The tape drum drives a pump (37) in an hydraulic system, Figs. 9 and 10 (not shown), controlling the brake through a pressure release valve (139). This valve is controlled by a cam (151) profiled in accordance with the desired arresting programme and also driven from the tape drum. Initially the tapes 29, 30 are kept just taut by a light brake pressure supplied from a pressurized tank (113) which operates a shuttle valve (119) controlling the brake supply line (121F). When the snatch occurs, the pump pressure reverses the shuttle valve and supplies the brake through a line (134F). The decreasing diameter of the unwound tape causes an automatic compensation which maintains the tape tension constant during a braking period represented by cam portion (A). A following cam portion (B) allows the valve (139) to open and the brakes are released as the missile stalls to avoid loading the boom 18. A third cam portion (C) slightly closes the valve (139) again to check the runout.
