Questions:

These proposed aircraft carriers lack angled deck extensions, correct?

So, in the EXTREMELY UNLIKELY EVENT that a roll-until-you-stop landing attempt fails, the boltering aircraft will have to roll toward the bow. This implies no aircraft on deck ahead, which implies no nearly simultaneous landings and take-offs, correct? Aircraft A will have to land before aircraft A can be positioned in front of one of the jet blast deflectors, which can't be raised until A is clear, correct?

Or does the RN plan to use to some sort of crash barricade, a.k.a. big volleyball net, on these ships? And how far from the stern are the two (?) jet blast deflectors located?
