maandumisvõrgud

Maandumisvõrgud, also known as landing nets, are essential pieces of equipment used in various outdoor activities, most notably in fishing and aviation.

In the context of fishing, a landing net is a frame, typically circular or D-shaped, with a mesh bag attached. It is used to safely scoop up a fish once it has been reeled close to the angler. This prevents the fish from breaking the line, becoming unhooked, or injuring itself during the final stage of the catch. Landing nets come in various sizes and mesh types, depending on the species of fish being targeted and whether catch-and-release practices are being employed. Mesh materials can range from fine nylon for smaller fish to robust rubber or coated mesh for larger, toothy species, minimizing harm to the fish's scales and fins.

In aviation, the term "maandumisvõrgud" or landing nets can refer to specialized systems designed to halt aircraft, particularly in situations where conventional braking might be insufficient or unavailable. These are most commonly seen on aircraft carriers or in emergency landing scenarios. The net is deployed across the runway or deck, and the aircraft's tailhook engages with it, rapidly decelerating the plane. This technology is crucial for safe operations in confined spaces and under demanding conditions.
