ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for restraining an aircraft against the combined forces of a cault launching shuttle and aircraft takeoff power during a catapult assisted takeoff until a predetermined combined force level has been reached. Release of the aircraft is triggered by the relative movement of a central piston within a housing which causes disengagement of gripping lugs from a tensile bar attached to the aircraft. The relative movement is enabled by the compressibility of hydraulic oil confined within the apparatus and loaded by the combined forces.
