摘要

The C-2 Greyhound is a high-wing, twin-engine monoplane cargo aircraft manufactured by the Northrop Grumman Corporation to satisfy the Navy's need for the Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) mission. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, the current-day COD aircraft has undergone myriad improvements to overcome both obsolescence and safety deficiencies. Although currently slated to be phased out during the next decade, there is still significant time and effort being expended to teach this old aircraft some new tricks.To accomplish its mission within restrained deck-space, the COD aircraft embodies all of the aerodynamic compromises of a twin-engine turboprop. It should be no surprise that the aircraft exhibits deficiencies in directional stability and coupling in all axes associated with power changes and response. These deficiencies also affect aircraft handling dynamics during landing roll-out. Early test flights of the C-2 more than 50 years ago identified a desire for an antiskid braking system (ABS). The addition of ABS to the C-2 would mitigate landing difficulties due to directional excursions. Although the COD mission requires nearly fifty percent shipboard landings without ABS, the remaining fifty percent require operations from remote, and often austere, locations. Because of variability in aircraft loads and runway conditions, the C-2, in performing the COD mission, would benefit tremendously from the increased safety and flexibility of an ABS.The extreme sensitivity of the C-2 wheel brakes has often caused inadvertent main tire failures during landing roll-out. Due to this sensitivity, it has become common practice to avoid the use of brakes at all costs during normal flight operations. New pilots are imbued with an unhealthy fear of brake application which has created a systemic limitation in COD aircrew knowledge of how to properly use brakes. During landing events in which directional control is compromised or in emergency situations when brakes are needed the most, the aircrew can't rely on the brakes as a safe and suitable control effector. To address the safety implications of this deficiency, the Navy initiated a program, which is currently being tested, to implement an ABS which would allow the use of brakes without experiencing main tire failures.
