If the jet made a rolling take off - are we talking intake or exhaust blank?
Intake - highly visible to multiple people on deck before wheels started turning.
Exhaust - shirley not possible because jet wouldn't go anywhere - highly degraded thrust.
And the lift fan doesn't need one - it's got doors.
Struggling to see how the egoat rumour can possibly be correct.
But they're now saying the ejectee landed on the flight deck!
