Abstract

In a gear for arresting aircraft at the ends of a takeoff or landing strip, a net is protected against weather conditions by being folded and enclosed in a bag pressed against the strip tarmac by fixed ropes, a movable rope being provided for normally closing said bag. When this rope is released, the net can move out from the bag, the rope movement being associated with the actuation of the posts supporting the lateral ends of the net disposed across the strip.
