METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CAPTURING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT AND CONSTRAINING MOTION OF THE CPTURED Methods and apparatuses for capturing and constraining motion of unmanned aircraft (140) and other flight devices or projectiles. In one embodiment, the aircraft can be captured at an extendable boom (851). The boom (851) can be extended to deploy a recovery line (853) to retrieve the aircraft (140) in flight. A trigger mechanism (1083) coupled to the recovery line can actuate a hoist device (1080) to reduce slack in the recovery line (853). A tension device (1085) coupled to the recovery line (853) can absorb forces associated with the impact of the aircraft (140) on the recovery line (853). AH25(10567897_1):dah
