PROTECTIVE SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING BUILDINGS AGAINST AIRCRAFT CRASHES

摘要

A protective system for protecting a building from aircraft crashes and similar high-energy impacts includes a three-dimensional protective grid erected in front of a building wall at a distance therefrom and having interconnected beams. The protective system is supported on the building wall by a plurality of plastically deformable energy-absorbing elements and is therefore constructed in such a way that even an impact by a heavy four-jet engine aircraft, such as a Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, does not destroy the integrity of the building it protects.
