Ok its new years day so I am allowed one daft question, Watching a doc on Channel 5 at the mo about Aircraft Carriers, and the craft that fly off em.apart from the commentary its quite good.
A question occurs to one,have catapult Aircraft Launchers and hook and wire recovery ever been concidered for land based military aircraft?shurely it would save on gas runway length ect.
I know that carrier based aircraft have to be a tad more robust than their land based counterpart, but it would not be necessary to slam a Jet down as hard on a normal runway would it?
Is it worth Drapes patenting this idea??????
