Resumen:
The influence of different hadronic packages
on the development of air showers is investigated.
In this work we consider in particular the
role of VELP (very energetic leading particle) events,
that is, hadronic collisions where the leading (most
energetic) secondary possess an energy comparable
with the primary energy. We analyze the energy
transport during the development of the shower, and
the impact on the most relevant shower observables.
