Spanish term or phrase: barrera de frenado
Busco el término equivalente en inglés. La barrera de frenado parece ser un especie de red que "coge" el avión para ayudarle parar en la pista.

disagree  Henry Hinds: "Catapult" sirve para lanzar al avión en el despegue, por ejemplo en un portaviones, o sea la operación contraria.
