Solved -PJ100- All American Engineering Jet-Powered plane-arresting gear tester

[Paul Jaray]

Guido66 explains it very well...there are no planes involved in the arresting gear test, it is just the cart mounted in front of the vehicle that is pushed toward the cable, it can be loaded with different amount of weight, simulating different type of aircraft and if it fails, just the cart goes crash. The vehicle runs on a rail, when it reaches the correct speed, it pushes the brakes and let the cart go free.

Sorry I've temporarily deleted my last post (thought I suddenly had an idea...)

again:
"Maybe I'm a little lame, but I still don't understand the landing process ...
Does the plane land piggy-back on top of the speed synchronized cart?"

Now I see, it's only propelling "jets" to take off.
Obviousely not a device for decelerate planes during the landing process.
