  Patent 4887483: Speed sensitive safety lock for arresting a runaway control lever
In another version of the invention, the arresting member is pivotably mounted on one side of the control lever facing the housing, and a contact element and a trapping block are mounted on the housing so as to overlap into the plane of movement of the arresting member on the control lever.
An arresting member 7 is pivotably supported on one end of mounting portion 6 next to the plane of movement A of control lever 1, and has a contact surface in the form of a knob at its upper end, a pair of leg sections 7b at its lower end, and a pivot pin 7c.
Arresting member 17 has contact surface 17a, which makes glancing contact with contact element 19 fixedly mounted to the side surface of housing 3, so as to pivot it about pivot point 17c by which it is mounted to control lever 1.

The hook needs to be the subject of special analysis, in terms of writing, production and how the listener is to get engaged, and of its entertainment values.
A variety of hooks are used, and the greatest contrast is between the BBC afternoon play and the Radio 3 play.
The hook may also indicate that the dominant genre of the play is a comedy, or serious, or a thriller, even though the opening scene or scenes are in another mood.

The first component is the arresting hook arm, which consists of a portion of the shaft and the joint end which connects to the swivel joint.
The Second component is the swivel joint which connects the arresting hook arm to the fuselage and allows for up and down and side to side travel.
For the arresting hook arm we applied boundary conditions to the pin hole and then applied an axial force to the end of the shaft.

The characteristics of the arresting gear and the manner in which they operate are nothing short of an engineering marvel.
Beneath the 110 feet of cross-deck pendant, the arresting wire that’s exposed on the flight deck, an additional 2,400 feet of cable is interlaced within the arresting gear engine.
In the event that an aircraft fails to make a good centerline landing, the hook runner is in somewhat of a compromising position, as he stands just starboard of the foul line.

Arresting cables span the runway surface and are engaged by the aircraft arresting gear hook (
Because most arresting cables are 1 to 1 1/4 in (2.5 to 3.2 cm) in diameter and suspended by rubber donuts 6 in (15.2 cm) in diameter, nosegear deflectors are at risk of being damaged if a donut is struck.
The key to dealing with the presence of arresting cables on runways is coordination among the airline operator, the airport operator, and the agency having control of the arresting system.

The evidence of the state was such that as a question of fact, it could have been concluded that the manner of the use of the pole, cord and hook by defendant was such as to bring it under the terms of a violation of the statute.
The evidence was that the hook, which was much larger than generally used, was drawn to the end of the pole where it became stationary, and was then dragged through the water and the fish caught in the side or gill.
The nature of the pole, line and hook and the manner of its use was a question of fact to be decided as to whether the defendant was attempting to violate the terms of the statute by the use of such paraphernalia.

 Class One Carrier Deck rules
The model must be equipped with an arresting hook which when extended may not be longer than a one-third (1/3) the length of the fuselage.
An arrested landing is any landing in which the model's forward motion is stopped primarily by the arresting hook engaging any arresting cable.
If the hook subsequently becomes disengaged, or the model rolls or is pulled off the deck after forward motion has been arrested, the landing score is not affected.

Under contract to the Naval Air Warfare Center, the Turboelectric Arresting Gear team, led by General Atomics, is performing the Component and Technology Development (CTD) phase of an Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system.
The goal of GA’s AAG concept is to significantly improve the arresting capabilities of the Navy’s carriers while simplifying operation, maintenance, and supportability requirements, and reducing life-cycle costs.
The GA Team’s "turboelectric" system design is based on the proven water turbine systems used in land-based arresting gear, adding a lighter synthetic cable system and an electromagnetic motor to meet the Navy’s demanding performance goals.

 When the U-2 Went to Sea
Its slow approach speed made arrested landings relatively easy, with the carrier's arresting cables kept at their lowest setting.
It gave them stronger landing gear, an arresting hook, and wing "spoilers" capable of canceling aerodynamic lift when the aircraft came over the deck.
In that first landing, the hook engaged, but the rear of the U-2 tipped up and the nose dug into the deck, breaking the pitot tube.

At the aft end of the flight deck--"at the ramp," in the carrier pilot's jargon--the window through which the arresting hook must pass to catch the target third wire is only two feet high.
The hook dangling from the airplane's tail is supposed to clear the ramp by at least 10 feet; but the ramp itself, in heavy seas, may be rising and falling 15 feet and sashaying side to side in a figure-eight as well.

The hook then encountered a puddle of water sprayed on the deck for lubrication, the impact of which closed the micro-switch [installed to retract the flaps, preventing damage of the flaps and the deck] on the hook, retracting the flaps on the test vehicle.
"In this landing, the arresting hook successfully engaged the cable causing the airplane to pitch violently into the deck on its nose for a series of 3 or 4 bounces before coming to a halt.
The hook was then lowered, and in a straight away of about 3,000 feet a 10-deg glide slope was established aimed at the center of the flexdeck.
