A helicopter landing ship designed and built in Spain (I think) is now in Melbourne, Australia, undergoing extensive fitments for its role as a cargo carrier, troop carrier and helicopter carrier. The front deck part of the vessel is upturned like that used for Harrier jump-jet fighter bombers.

Can helicopters lift more weight using the ski-jump principle like Harriers?
