F35Bs on Carriers
As I understand it a B cannot vertically land with much weight on, possibly necessitating the jettisoning of weapons prior to landing if it has a heavy fuel load etc. To overcome this problem LM and the RN are developing rolling landings, using the brakes to stop the aircraft.
Two things come to mind, firstly is the landing gear and the brakes up for this, or will it be necessary to fit the heavier C type landing gear? Secondly will there have to be a barrier at the end of the angled deck to catch planes with brakes problems?
