MIL-HDBK-2066, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK: CATAPULTING AND ARRESTING GEAR FORCING FUNCTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL DESIGN (07 MAR 1999) [SUPERSEDING MIL-STD-2066]., This document summarizes loads, accelerations, velocities, and other parameters statistically analyzed and extracted from test data representative of the various shipboard and shore based launching and recovery equipment employed by the U.S. Navy. In determining the volume of information to be presented, every effort has been made to condense the data and yet present it, as much as possible, in a form that requires the least amount of additional calculations by the user. The data shown herein may be used to derive time histories of loads and accelerations for the design conditions of MIL-A-8863 "Airplane Strength and Rigidity, Ground Loads for Navy Procured Airplanes” and MIL-A-8866 "Airplane Strength and Rigidity, Reliability Requirements, Repeated Loads9 and Fatigue.” Source:
