- euler_angles 3y agoYes, there are pendants that are supposed to keep the wire above the deck, but the short space between the F-35C main landing gear and the tail hook point means that there's not enough time for the pendants to raise the wire above the deck in the manner that the original (erroneous) wire dynamics model would have suggested.
