EVALUTION TESTS MODEL 56C AND MODEL 56D RUNWAY BARRIER SYSTEMS

摘要

This report discusses the program carried out by All American Engineering Company to investigate the feasibility of utilizing either of two arresting barrier systems. These barriers are for use in conjunction with an emergency arrest¬ing gear to prevent overrun accidents of commercial jet air¬craft. The barriers investigated are All American's Model 56C (Pull-Up) and All American's Model 56D (Pop-Up) types. Test results of actual engagements with a vehicle simulating a full size aircraft at speeds up to 60 miles per hour are used to predict performance up to 120 miles per hour.
