<p>A high energy absorbing aircraft tail skid assembly (10) for protecting an aircraft fuselage lower skin portion from damage in the event of a tail strike due to over rotation on take-off of the aircraft. The high energy absorbing tail skid assembly (10) is pivotally mounted to the aircraft bulkhead (33), and comprises a telescoping rod assembly (22) including a crushable aluminum cartridge (21), positioned coaxially with respect to the central axis of the telescoping rods. The telescoping rod (22) is coupled through linkage (24), including a fuse pin (27) providing a predetermined failure mode for the high energy aircraft tail skid assembly, to prevent overloading critical aircraft structure.</p> |
