Custom Aircraft Arresting Tape
Widely used in BAK-12 and BAK-13 aircraft arresting systems
What is Aircraft Arresting Tape
The aircraft arresting tape is a high-strength flat-woven webbing, typically made from nylon 66 fiber. It plays a critical role in the BAK-12 and BAK-13 aircraft arresting systems, ensuring safe deceleration during emergency landings or aborted takeoffs.
Operating Principle
Hooking: The aircraft arresting hook engages the suspension cable spanning the runway.
Release Process: The suspension cable connects directly to the high-strength woven webbing.
Energy Absorption: As the aircraft advances, the taut webbing is continuously released from the spool.
Braking Effect: The released webbing drives the hydraulic system and braking mechanism, applying the deceleration force required.
Energy Dissipation: The specially designed webbing exhibits exceptional durability, effectively resisting wear and mechanical stress throughout the arresting process.
Key Features
Raw Material: High-strength nylon 66 fiber, specially engineered to withstand extreme tension and abrasion.
Weaving Process: Heavy-duty looms ensure a flat, uniform fabric structure with dense weave for stable, reliable performance.
Strength and Durability: Tensile strength is specially designed to endure repeated cycles of use under extreme slide conditions.
Surface Treatment: Optimized friction control properties minimize wear against suspension cables and reel systems.
Quality Assurance: Every batch undergoes testing for tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and dimensional accuracy.

- Temporary or Forward Bases enabling safe fighter jet operations in tactical environments.
Nylon Tape Shelf-life and Maintenance
Barrier Maintenance Airmen Replaces Nylon Aircraft Arresting Tape
The nylon tape in an aircraft arresting system has a shelf life of four years once installed. Every six months, a portion is cropped to remove any damaged sections exposed to the elements, ensuring the tape maintains its integrity and performance during an engagement with an aircraft.
UV light can damage nylon tapes, so they must be protected from direct sunlight. All spare tapes should be stored indoors to prevent this.
