An aircraft arresting gear is used on an aircraft carrier as shown in Figure DP3.3. The linear model of each energy absorber has a drag force fD = KDx3. It is desired to halt the airplane within 30 m after engaging the arresting cable [13]. The speed of the aircraft on landing is 60 m/s. Select the required constant KD, and plot the response of the state variables.
