Abstract
An aircraft securement device includes a sliding shaft, typically mounted to the aircraft landing gear. The shaft resembles a harpoon and is lowered through a wire grid when deployed. Tab-like members spring outwardly from the lower shaft end and engage the lower surface of a grid so as to retain the aircraft thereto.
