Talk:Engineered materials arrestor system

message: How do these systems deal with snow and ice? Are they strong enough for vehicles to drive on? They surface has many joints - how does the blade of a plow not damage the surface? Are airports limited to using sweeping equipment? Icefield (talk) 14:11, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Usualy, blades are equiped with rollers that lift the blade several millimeters away from the surface. The bottom part of the blade is not touching the road, it prevents it from beeing worn out too quickly (the road and the blade). 2A01:CB00:8382:8000:D4F6:309D:C14C:A466 (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Snow and Ice?

message: Numerous runways had run-off areas, long before engineered deceleration zones.  Drag racing had them in the 1960s and 1970s.  Early systems used sand and pea gravel that would decelerate and stop vehicles as tires would sink well below the normal surface level.  Many of these are still in use as are various netting-style arrestors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Homebuilding (talk • contribs) 15:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: No reference to arrestor use development and history

message: The paragraph about "Engineered Arresting Systems Corporation" reads like an advertisement.  I think the last two sentences, the ones about cost and where they produce it, ought to be deleted. - Psyno 06:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe this article is unneeded and like a sales pitch. Im suggesting that it be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.114.126 (talk) 02:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Although ESCCO were tasked with producing the first cement based system, the development,engineering, funding, and government buy-in were the work of other people.  Please read the following PDF, the awarding of the prestigious Sperry award for greater detail on this very important aviation development.

thread_title:  Essential accurate historical information on Engineered Material Aircraft Arresting Systems 

message: This incident was NOT a runway overrun, as mis-stated by Jennifer Oldham's article headline. This was a unique incident in which the pilot had completed an uneventful landing and then turned to taxi to park, but came to a stop in the EMAS area. It was determined in the NTSB report that the EMAS was not correctly identified on the charts needed for the taxi, thus presented a potential taxi hazard. CONCLUSION: overall, EMAS appears to be an effective safety improvement, but it also presents a taxi hazard, if not clearly identified.Reformfaanow (talk) 17:34, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the blatent marketing material paragraph that read "EMASMAX® is the latest, most durable version of Zodiac Arresting Systems'". 
This was a word for word copy and paste from that company's website marketing.Savlonn (talk) 10:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
