Hi all About EMAS again, now taken directly from the FAA advisory circular:
"Assume a runway with a DC-9 (or similar) as the design aircraft. An EMAS 400 feet in length (including a 75-foot set-back) is capable of stopping a DC-9 within the confines of the system at runway exit speeds of up to 75 knots." Maybe someone can point me to a similar aircraft (or MTOW) in the FG aircraft repository ? I finished collecting and calculating the coordinates/data for about 60 EMAS in U.S. and international (I am willing to provide this data for FlightGear of course), and I started to design a "prototype" for the scenery ( http://wiki.flightgear.org/Engineered_materials_arresting_systems ). Now I would start to look how this can be implemented (by terrain/materials/FDM) and I need a small hint what aircraft I should look for. Thanks a lot, Cheers, Yves Am 20.12.11 12:48, schrieb HB-GRAL: > Hi all > > When I want to start to implement a EMAS test in one FlightGear aircraft > FDM, what is "the best" or most advanced FDM we have in the category of > a DC-9/DC-10 ?
