The FAA EMAS design requirements currently prohibit damage to the aircraft, which typically results in arrestor bed designs constrained by the rearward nose-gear loads. More aggressive decelerations would be possible if the designs were permitted to collapse the nose gear as long as the main gear remained intact.

However, the speed-dependent arrestor performance generally requires longer arrestor beds and diminishes the multi-aircraft performance. As with the aggregate foam, the materials to be used will require additional characterization in order to make highconfidence performance estimations.

Once fielded, the new arrestor system would provide additional options to airport operators for achieving RSA compliance. Increasing the choices available would allow decision makers to select the arrestor option that best fits with the budgetary, climate, and space constraints of the facility.
