An insulating board in which the capacity to absorb the moisture exemplified by wood fiber based board, cellulose fiber based board and perlite based board is coupled with the high permeability of fiber glass insulation to provide a board having a balance between the capacity to hold moisture and sufficient permeance to allow the board to give up the moisture as the board is passed through a cycle of absorption and desorption, whether it be on a daily or seasonable cycle is provided with an air retarder sheet laminated thereto, which while it provides an air retarder and a water shield has a high permeance so as to allow water vapor to pass through.

A system for arresting movement of an aircraft traveling off the end of a runway at high speeds. Rigid, friable, fire resistant foam boards, preferably phenolic foam, are connected to form a panel, and a plurality of layers comprised of stacked panels are adhered to a base surface. The panels are formed from unfaced foam boards, the compressive strength of the stack of boards being less than the force exerted by the landing gear of the aircraft to allow the boards to be crushed by the landing gear.

Aircraft arresting system

A sheathing board capable of transmitting water vapor while retaining good thermal conductivity properties. The board is formed of a core comprising rigid foamed plastic interspersed with spaced areas of water vapor permeable insulating material that extend from one major face of the core to the other. The major faces of the core are preferably faced with a water vapor permeable sheet, allowing water vapor to travel through the spaced areas of insulating material and the facing sheets. By aligning the spaced areas of material with the insulation in a wall cavity, the strength of the board and its thermal conductivity are maintained within acceptable limits.
