before I prepared to go to church I did a wrong last minute editing... reversing the slope correction ! Agreed with my first version the piloted slope is 3°14' !
(03:46 - Hmmm so the ground-glide has that angle Å | tg Å = tg4°× 115.7/143 Å = 3° 14' ??)

During the time I was at church I did not pray a lot ! I figured the Bird in the arresting gear with Ship doing its own Wind... finishing with a water-speed of 27 kts, and discovered the slope mistake too..

The second problem I jumped over ,was I did not imagine origine of that Aircraft Carrier's "wind". So I have to edit after Machinbird's precision that the wind was the Ship's own wind / speed .

Consequently the final Bird's air-speed is 27 kt and not 0kt.

So the kinetic energy to dissipate is 1/2 M V1² - 1/2 M V2²
(V1 = 143 kts, V2 = 27kts)
= 1/2 x 18144 x (143² - 27²) x( 1852 / 3600)² joules
= 47 346 357 joules

"Unverified reckoning has probability near of 1 to be wrong" (Kaufmann) so ...you shall verify ! Thank you
