I chose to land between, and take off between the cables - no performance problem, rather than trample them at any speed just in case the cable kicked up after the nose gear ( two high pressure chined tyres) passed over.

My concern was that the aerials and drains on the underside of the fuselage may be damaged if the cable was lifted into the fuselage and / or it may damage the main gear or strut.

If it is sufficiently robust to stop, say an F4, it wouldn't have much trouble stopping a 36 tonne twin jet !
