The hurricane knot is a loop knot that can be tied and opened hunder pressure. It is secure if it stays under permanent pressure. It can be used to tie down airplanes. Here is a description by Ells, Steven W. (in AOPA PILOT September 2007): Potts' hurricane knot is tied by taking all the slack out of the rope and applying a slight tension before wrapping the free end of the rope twice around the length of rope between the airplane and the anchor and pulling the second wrap tight so it jams. This wrapping and jamming is repeated twice and the the end is secured down the tiedown rope with half a hitch.
