A calibration test program was conducted to determine the performance of the TE-28 arresting gear when using the following aircraft: 16,000-pound A-4, 22,000-pound F-8, 33,000-pound F-4, and 50,000- and 70,000-pound A-3. Comparison of test results of this calibration program with the data obtained during similar tests with aircraft arrested by the M-44B arresting gear yielded the following information on limiting engaging speeds: A-3 aircraft (both lightweight and heavyweight) test results were satisfactory; the A-4 aircraft engaging-speed limit was reduced 15 knots; and the F-8 and F-4 aircraft engaging-speed limits were reduced approximately 10 knots. It is believed most of the change in the engaging-speed limits is due to a change in the properties of the purchase tape used. (Author)
