How Does EMAS Help Stop a Plane at the End of a Runway?

When runway space is limited, an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) can provide another layer of protection. Its crushable blocks are designed to slow an aircraft through controlled resistance. Follow the Yeager Airport example and see why EMAS is designed for specific aircraft and entry speeds—and why it complements, rather than replaces, other runway safety measures. Ordinary, Engineered explains the systems hiding in plain sight. #Engineering #Aviation #HowThingsWork
