Probably I am missing something, so I await a PPRune guru to provide the truth
There is precedent to this. Think back to the Hurricanes on merchant ships during the war. Born out of desparation I agree but there wasn't any recovery system at all.
Then there were the rubber deck landings carried out by Winkle Brown in the Vampire. Clever idea but it would have needed very precise flying for landing. Once on the mat I am assuming it would have taken some time to haul the aircraft off and prepare it for take off again (on dollies?).
