- Appontage — A technical term borrowed from French denoting the aeronautical action of landing an airplane or helicopter onto the specially designed deck of an aircraft carrier or naval vessel. This structural procedure requires microscopic precision, advanced optical guidance systems, and the utilization of arresting wires to stop the aircraft within an extremely short distance.
