It consists of a steel cable, also known as a pendant, which is attached to a shuttle system that moves along a set of arresting wires. The arresting wires are stretched across the flight deck in a staggered formation,
Supporting the arresting cables are the energy absorbers, which can be hydraulic or mechanical in nature. Hydraulic energy absorbers use fluid dynamics to dissipate the kinetic energy of the aircraft, converting it into heat and safely slowing down the aircraft.
In the arresting cable system, the block and tackles are mainly designed to change the direction of the arresting cable while the contact details between the cable and pulley are not the main concern.

Through detailed 3D animations, you''ll see exactly how the cables, pulleys, and hydraulic dampers work together to catch the plane and absorb its kinetic energy.
This system consists of two hydraulically actuated rotary friction energy absorbers, positioned on each side of the runway and connected by a cross-runway hook cable or net barrier.
As the deck pendant and the purchase cable are pulled out by the aircraft being arrested, the kinetic energy of the aircraft is transferred to mechanical energy of the cables, and the arresting engine transfers the mechanical energy of the cables to hydraulic energy.

The energy would have to be dumped somewhere, but I suspect that would not be a big problem in a ship. One of the primary advantages touted for electromagnetic launching is that it will increase the lifespan of the airframe due to reduced stress.
Arresting cable systems (ACS) are widely used in aircraft carriers to decelerate an aircraft with high landing velocity in a limited runway length. Considering the complexity of the arresting process, it is extremely challenging to accurately and efficiently predict system dynamic behaviors, such as the arresting distance of aircrafts.
In conclusion, arrester cables are essential for stopping a landing aircraft on an aircraft carrier. Through a combination of hydraulic force, sheaves, and brakes, the cables rapidly decelerate the aircraft and bring it to a complete stop.
Factors such as the aircraft's weight, speed, landing gear configuration, and structural characteristics all play a role in determining the requirements for the cables. Through scientific analysis, experience, and ongoing improvements, arrester cables continue to provide a critical safety measure for landing aircraft on carriers.

Without these arrester cables, landing an aircraft on an aircraft carrier would be extremely challenging and dangerous. To summarize, the purpose of arrester cables on an aircraft carrier is to enable aircraft to safely and quickly come to a stop upon landing.
It remains a challenging task to identify the limitations of a specific arresting cable system, such as the maximum aircraft weight and velocity for a given arresting distance, especially in the case of off-center or crosswind landings, where the aircraft deviates from the centerline of the runway or has a lateral velocity, see Fig. 1 (a)– (c).
