Abstract: A crash barrier for an aircraft, which includes an array of elementary nets arranged parallel to each other. Each elementary net includes a generally vertical stop structure which extends between a first upper strap and at least one second lower strap. The first and second straps each includes two end portions for attaching to a braking device, wherein the end portions of the one and/or the other of the upper and lower straps includes a loosened intermediate section, that is, which is not tensed and which forms an “overlength.” The barrier includes an additional strap of which the opposite ends are fastened by linking means to the corresponding ends of the loosened intermediate section. The additional strap includes a region in which it is constituted by two distinct and contiguous strands. The binding wire, that is, the weft or warp wire of this additional strap being common to the two strands. The pull-out resistance of the binding wire being less than that of the linking means.

Abstract: A device for absorbing kinetic energy of a vehicle or any other moving body includes at least one bundle of straps formed by at least one strap having at least one first strand and at least one second strand secured by a connection means capable of being progressively destroyed by a tensile force intended to be applied on the first strand of the strap. The device also includes at least one anchoring means suitable for connecting the kinetic energy absorption device to a structure on which is intended to be installed. The anchoring means is arranged downstream of the bundle of straps with respect to a deployment direction of the strap under the tensile force intended to be applied on the first strand of the strap.
