This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. An elongating wire cable absorbs the kinetic energy of a moving object more gently than does a conventional elastic-arrest system, such as a coil spring, a net, or an aircraft shock cord. Such devices impart large shock loads to the moving body and cause it to rebound. The new arresting line, in contrast, absorbs energy at a nearly constant rate, reducing the maximum arresting load and minimizing rebounding. Possible applications of the wire-cable arrester include passenger restraint in air and land vehicles, parachute risers, and ground snatch by aircraft.
