Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft arresting apparatus includes a pair of rotatable reels mounted on vertical axes on opposite sides of an aircraft runway. Flat elongated fabric tapes are wound upon the reels in layer-by-layer convolutions. The free ends of the tapes are connected with a pendant which is stretched in tension across the runway. Lead-off sheave means are located closely adjacent each reel and the tapes are guided over the lead-off sheave means. Each lead-off sheave means is arranged so that each tape is in contact with a lead-off sheave means over a sufficient angle of wrap to reflect any lateral or vertical tape wave motions and prevent them from going past the lead-off sheave means toward the reels.
