It's been a while since I was on the programme, and I don't know what the current figures are for the aircraft to go from landing mode to a 'bolter' mode - if that's what they are still looking at.
The distance available down the angle on CVF is about the same as a US CVN (by design), and at the forecast landing weights the F-35B gets off the deck fairly smartly and in a very short distance.
My view remains that to land an aircraft straight down the axis of a flight deck, relying on the (albeit very good) brakes to stop, is not the best way to go. In the final analysis, you are aiming a lot of energy straight where you don't really want it to end up. If you cain aim off, do so, and if you can also bolter, have it as another risk reducer.
Best regards as ever,
