EMASMAX® – optimized engineering
The Runway Safe EMASMAX® is a bed of customized cellular cement material, designed to crush under the weight of an aircraft; thus, providing predictable & controlled deceleration. Once stopped, the unique EMASMAX® material allows passengers and crew members to exit the aircraft safely and for the aircraft to be easily removed from the arresting system. The EMASMAX® is designed to give you the optimized performance, and it is tailor-made to fit your runway and to accommodate your airport specific aircraft fleet mix.
The EMASMAX® is recognized and accepted by a host of civil aviation regulators around the globe, including ICAO, EASA, US-FAA, UK-CAA and French- DGAC. EMASMAX® is now installed on more than 120 runway ends worldwide, while being credited with no fewer than fifteen successful emergency arrestments. The EMASMAX® has proven to be effective in saving human lives, assets and infrastructure, in case of an overrun. Based on decades of extensive research and development and solid experiences and development, each of our installations is unique.
With full scale testing utilizing real aircrafts and with aircraft configuration data, together with overrun testing in our facility, we do have the expertise to design the very best solution for your specific airport conditions – fleet mix, topography and runway end safety area available (RESA). An EMASMAX® arrestor bed can reduce the 240-meter RESA requirement to 140 meters or less.
