Different interaction models treating hadronic collisions below in air shower simulations are compared within the frame of the CORSIKA program. Their behaviour is studied in isolated collisions of protons or pions with light-mass targets in comparison with experimental data. It is discussed how model properties influence air-shower parameters like the longitudinal profile or the lateral distribution of particles arriving at ground. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
