Abstract
A crash barrier for an aircraft, which includes an array of elementary nets arranged parallel to each other. Each elementary net includes a generally vertical stop structure which extends between a first upper strap and at least one second lower strap. The first and second straps each includes two end portions for attaching to a braking device, wherein the end portions of the one and/or the other of the upper and lower straps includes a loosened intermediate section, that is, which is not tensed and which forms an “overlength.” The barrier includes an additional strap of which the opposite ends are fastened by linking means to the corresponding ends of the loosened intermediate section. The additional strap includes a region in which it is constituted by two distinct and contiguous strands. The binding wire, that is, the weft or warp wire of this additional strap being common to the two strands. The pull-out resistance of the binding wire being less than that of the linking means.
