Feasibility of arresting transport type aircraft to prevent overshooting runways has been assured by field tests; twin-engine Convair aircraft was used for initial arrestment tests to determine if transport type fuselage could withstand forces imposed by arrestment; live tests with Boeing 720 jet transport aircraft were conducted using large capacity arresting system developed for that purpose; characteristics of arresting system suitable for civil use are determined.
