Arresting gear

Japanese: アレスティングギヤ - あれすてぃんぐぎや
Arresting gear

...A steam catapult is a high-power, high-speed launching device that is now an essential piece of equipment for aircraft carriers. In order to stop landing aircraft quickly, arresting gear is installed near the landing position, and a braking line is stretched near the landing position, and a hook attached to the landing aircraft's body is hooked to the arresting gear, which applies a certain amount of tension to stop the aircraft in a short distance. In case the braking fails or the hook does not hook properly, a barricade is installed in front of the landing position to prevent the aircraft from falling into the sea.
[Future aircraft carriers]
Aircraft carriers are mobile air bases at sea with the ability to rapidly deploy, stay at sea for long periods, and launch powerful concentrated attacks, and are expected to continue to be a central component of maritime military power and demonstrate great power.
