Accordingly, it is a general purpose and object of the present invention to provide an improved seal for the longitudinal slot of a pressurized cylinder through which the shuttle of an aircraft catapult travels at high speed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a dynamic sealing strip system for a slotted cylinder of an aircraft catapult in which the sealing strip is firmly supported and held in place along the slot throughout the entire length of the cylinder so that whipping of the strip is prevented during high speed operations and over long operating strokes. A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved dynamic seal for the slotted cylinders of an aircraft catapult system which is equally effective in maintaining operating pressure with the cylinder for launching or braking operations. A still further object of the present invention is to provide an improved closure for sealing the slot of a pressurized cylinder which is reliable and easy to install. (Author)
