arrester wires arrester wires[ə′res·tər ‚wīrz] (naval architecture) Cables that extend across the stern of an aircraft carrier's deck; they are raised above the deck on supports so that they may be engaged by the arrester hook of an aircraft when it lands on a carrier; the wires play out along the deck with increasing resistance until the aircraft stops moving. Also known as arresting gear. |
