Explosive anchors tested for small planes at Wright Field
Dayton engineers at Wright Patterson Air Force Base tested rocket propelled anchors to halt small aircraft and gliders. A 1.5 inch diameter, short steel tube stores the propellant. a cockpit button fires it near landing, driving the anchor 18 inches into the ground at a 43 degree angle. A 200 foot stainless ribbon slows the stop, reducing landing distance from 700 to 168 feet at 75 mph. This could aid liaison planes needing tight landings in combat.
