Jet Parachute
Deployment
Application
Summary
Military
aircrafts deploy parachutes for rapid decrease of speed upon
landing. Utilizing Miniature Threaded In Line Load Cells allows
test engines to audit the force applied to that parachute or
structure of aircraft.

Load Cell - Jet Parachute Deployment
How it Works
When runway length is tight, military aircrafts deploy parachutes
to assist in rapid deceleration.
These parachutes require extensive precision and endurance (fatigue)
testing prior to use.
Utilizing either standard or customized Miniature Threaded In
Line Load Cells in a wire tension measurement application allow
quality inspection engineers to audit the tensile forces applied
to the parachute cable throughout deployment and use.
These tensile forces can be read on a number of instruments,
including our digital displays (IHH500 or IPM650) or streamed
to a PC via our USB Solutions.
