Research abstract
Spencer Industries proposes development, prototyping and test of the Lightweight Aircraft Tiedown to replace the legacy TD-1 device, centering on a new design Tensioner device and utilizing Kevlar/Firetex webbing as the restraint media. The Lightweight Aircraft Tiedown design provides substantial weight reduction (50% of current TD-1 device), enhanced ease of use, improved quality of life and safety for sailors, and improved reliability and maintainability. In form, fit, and function, the new tiedown is a complete replacement for the existing TD-1 lashings, and requires no changes to either ship deck fittings or aircraft.
