US Fighter Jet Flight Operations on Aircraft Carrier @Defxofficials

#unitedstates #navy #aircraftcarrier #fighterjet

Landing on a Aircraft Carrier is one of the most difficult things a pilot will ever do. The flight deck only has about 500 feet (~150 meters) of runway space for landing planes, which isn't nearly enough for the heavy, high-speed jets on U.S. carriers.

To land on the flight deck, each plane needs a tailhook, which is exactly what it sounds like an extended hook attached to the plane's tail. The pilot's goal is to snag the tailhook on one of four arresting wires, sturdy cables woven from high-tensile steel wire.

The arresting wires are stretched across the deck and are attached on both ends to hydraulic cylinders below deck. If the tailhook snags an arresting wire, it pulls the wire out, and the hydraulic cylinder system absorbs the energy to bring the plane to a stop.
