Usually by a small webbing crash barrier, a miniature aircraft carrier emergency crash barrier if you will

The Aerosonde is designed to be launched via a catapult-type rail system and is recovered via a two-post net structure. As such, there is no fixed or jettisonable undercarriage in the Aerosonde's design.

Interesting texture on the drop tank at the top.

I know this is a really late reply, but, the tank as you probably know, is metal covered with composites. For some reason in pretty much every Super Hornet tank they didn't bother to make them smooth like in the legacy 18's. This is my former squadron by the way. BKR! '04-'08
