If its a US registered aircraft use American units like pounds, and feet not this pussy stuff like meters and knots
Knots . . ?
Anyway,
The F4 landing on the carrier is F=MA as the F4 is in fact Aing its F-ing M all the way down the . . deck, forcing the wire to a force greater than the original hook up force.
So there is a secondary accellerating force - whilst the Massive F4 is being ground to a halt by the poor old wire up to and until the Accel Force is dissipated. see that? All due, as you all know, to the fact that you have to apply full chat, in case the `lil ol wire gives or in case you have not hooked up - on touchdown
Sorry to sound so technical - do I get a degree now?
