The F-4 Phantom II is equipped with a tail hook that typically weighs around 50 to 60 pounds (approximately 23 to 27 kilograms). This tail hook is designed for carrier operations, allowing the aircraft to catch arrestor wires on an aircraft carrier's landing deck. Its robust design ensures the aircraft can safely land on moving ships, a critical capability for naval aviation.
