Spaz, many thanks - those are very surprising figures, but I am happy to be put right. So, about 15,000 pounds delta from A/B - now it all depends on how much 'grunt' the catapults can deliver over the stroke for a max weight F-35C launch. And of course, how much Wind Over Deck (WOD) is available.

Damn complicated stuff, this cat and trap stuff.

Best regards as ever to all those working the cat launch sums,
