Development of arresting engine by All American Engineering Co especially for use on runways; arresting cable is attached to piston which fits loosely inside water filled tube; when aircraft engages cable it tows piston through tube and hydraulic drag of piston arrests plane; aircraft weighing from 100,000 to 300,000 lb can be arrested from engaging speeds of 0 to 120 knots.
