Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example arresting hook system for an aircraft includes a linkage assembly defining a trapeze deployment assembly of the arresting hook system, a pivot assembly to pivotally couple a hook shank to a primary pivot joint of an aft body, a vertical actuator coupled to a forward body and a frame of the aircraft to move the arresting hook system between a stowed position and an intermediate position, and a vertical damper actuator (VDA) including a cylinder and a piston. The cylinder pivotally coupled to the frame of the aircraft via a VDA pivot joint, the VDA to rotate relative to the frame of the aircraft, the piston having an end operatively coupled to the pivot assembly, the VDA to move the arresting hook system between the intermediate position and a deployed position.
