Dude, why is the flight manual for the f-18e the heaviest of the various mission loads,
Also over a ton less than MTOW?
Or can you show me evidence of your brother taking off from a carrier in MTOW? ? ?
wow,
I have never seen an F-18E take off on a carrier in MTOW, on the contrary I can find a lot of F-18E not taking off on a carrier in MTOW. Since you say MTOW is the norm, can you provide evidence for your statement?
dude, why would you doubt an open news? ? ?
The exchange of traps and catapults of a French Rafale on Ike and a US Super Hornet on CDG [Charles de Gaulle] not only displayed the versatility of each country’s naval air power, but was a striking visual of comradery in arms of two great powers at...
lol, your description of the F-18E payload was a great inspiration to me.
Well, let's calculate based on the ejection limit of 27 tons, an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 28 tons.
Can it satisfy combat when it is at 27 tons take off? ?
Dude, I can find similar data
The C-13-3 in CdG has a stroke length of 246', and a launch speed of 140 knots at 70,000 pounds.
RafaleM has a maximum take-off weight of 54,000 pounds, with an empty weight of 22,431 pounds...
Dude, you're the one playing dumb, you're using a WIKI data that doesn't have a source, and based on that you're assuming the f-18e can't take off with a full load,god
Obviously, what you say and what I say are not the same thing at all. I never said that TAKE and off are simultaneous.
So back to the original point, India’s 40,000-ton aircraft carrier can operate with a length of 195m runway, so why can’t it operate a 300ft catapult runway?
Why do you think...
what? Ski Jump length alone is not enough for a fighter to truly have combat capability. You need to run off length.
When an Indian carrier is capable of deck operations with a run off length of 195m, what makes you think the same cannot be done with a 300ft catapult?
LOL, you can certainly take off at 1/4 to 1/3 the length of the deck, and then like I said with the f-35b, that's when the load on the plane drops off dramatically. Dude, don't you know that the MiG-29 can only take off with anti-ship weapons when it is in the red box I marked? And in the...
No, it's your fault. Because the QE uses the short takeoff and landing F-35B, not the carrier-based F-35C that normally takes off and lands on the Ford.
The price paid for this is that when the load is 1 ton, the combat radius is only two-thirds of the F-35C with a load of 2 tons.
