catapult. It's called a ski jump. If the Russians can use Su-33's
(which weigh nearly as much as the F-35 does) off of a carrier
without a catapult, then the F-35 could as well. The_Chieftain: It's not so much the getting off as the getting back on
again. Harrier carriers have used ski jumps since the early 1980s,
the advantages of having aerodynamic lift for VTOL aircraft are
well known. More critical is the vertical landing ability.
