Fighter aircraft can stop on a short runway. On aircraft carriers, cables are used to stop them. Some fighters landing on short land runways use braking parachutes.

What does a red flashing gun signal mean from an airport control tower?
From CFR 14 Part 91.125 Steady red On the Ground: Stop In the Air: Give way to other aircraft and continue circling. Flashing red On the Ground: Taxi clear of runway in use In the Air: Airport unsafe-do not land.
What is balanced field takeoff?
A "balanced field" with respect to aircraft takeoff performance refers to the minimum length of runway that will allow for an aircraft to accelerate to V-1 (decision speed), experience failure of the critical engine, and then either stop in the remaining runway or continue to a successful takeoff meeting all applicable takeoff performance criteria.
An aircraft can accelerate at a rate of 11m per s2 and can decelerate at a rate of 9m per s2 If the aircraft has a take-off velocity of 100m per s how long must the runway be?
The runway must be long enough for the aircraft to reach take-off velocity and then stop. We have to find out how much distance it takes the aircraft to reach 100 m/s and then stop. For this we can use the equation v2 = v02 + 2ax.To reach 100 m/s: 1002 = 2(11)x. Solving for x gives x = 454.5 so it takes 454.5 meters for the aircraft to reach 100m/s.To slow back down: 02 = 1002 + (2)(-9)x. Solving for x gives x = 555.5, so it takes the aircraft 555.5 m to stop.The total distance of the runway needs to be 454.5 + 555.5 = 1,010 m.
What type of Wheel brakes are used to stop the aircraft on the runway?
Aircraft have disc brakes, but they're different from automotive disc brakes: the calipers are the same size as the rotors and they have pads going all the way around. On a really big plane, like an airliner, there are multiple discs.
What must an operator do when apporaching an active runway?
Stop, contact the tower to ask permission to cross the runway
Does movie stop has the movie fighter?
Movie fighter has movie stop but go movie fly cycle.
Why do airplanes take off and land against the wind?
Airplanes approach to a landing at an airspeed (relative speed of the aircraft passing through the air) recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. If an aircraft approaches too fast, it may not have enough runway to stop. If it approaches too slowly, there may not be enough air flow over the wing and the wing may stall, causing the wing to lose lift and the aircraft to descend or enter a spin. On larger aircraft, the approach airspeed varies according to the airplane weight at landing. An airplane approaching at 100 miles per hour into a 20 mile per hour headwind is traveling over the ground at only 80 miles per hour, resulting in a slower groundspeed at touchdown, requiring less runway and less braking to stop. An aircraft taking off into a 20 mile per hour headwind will reach takeoff (rotation) airspeed in a shorter distance over-the-ground than an aircraft taking off in a calm wind or tailwind. With a headwind, the aircraft will also climb at a steeper angle, when compared to its movement over the ground, helping it climb over obstacles at the end of the runway.
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
What is hold short line on the airport diagram?
This is the line where a pilot will be told to stop before access to teh runway. This allows ATC to know there is one "waiting to go" and there in allows them to make sure incoming planes are given priority to land. No pilot may move passed a hold short until told by ATC to do so
Can aircraft stop in flight?
No, an aircraft can travel at speeds of 500 MPH and faster, so to stop an aircraft would result in it having to land.
What does it mean when the red light is blinking?
stop: clear the active runway
