Aircraft Arresting Concrete
Abstract Runway overrun will cause costly aircraft damages and threaten the safety of airline passengers and crew. Aircraft arresting concrete is fabricated by incorporating foaming agents into concrete, thus containing a lot of approximate spherical, isolated, and arranged disorderly cavities. The aircraft arresting concrete relies mainly on the hole walls to bear load and can be made into an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) to absorb the kinetic energy of an overrunning aircraft. The EMAS can work successfully in arresting the overrunning aircraft and slowing them down by the drag load of the crushable aircraft arresting concrete.
