To study the influence of dynamic characteristics of the arresting hook of carrier-based aircraft on arresting results, the rigid body dynamics model of the plane motion carrier-based aircraft was established. The rigid body dynamics model of the spatial motion arresting hook was established considering the effect of longitudinal cushioning of the arresting hook. Lagrange′s equation of first kind was employed to establish the revolute joint model of the carrier-based aircraft and the arresting hook, and then the dynamics models of the system consists of the carrier-based aircraft and its arresting hook were established. The models were united with dynamics model of arresting gear to form the complete blocking dynamic simulation model. The experiment of the arresting process of aircraft was carried out. The experiment results and simulation results of the arresting process were compared and analyzed. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the dynamics model of the carrier-based aircraft and arresting hook, and reveal the significant influence of characteristics of the arresting hook on arresting overload.
