LHDangleddeckfor stobar
1. LHA/LHD Angled Deck with Ski Jump (s) for
STOBAR operations
? New landing spots
?
Metal structure that would be added
? 3 possible locations for ski jumps, w/o losing helicopter landing spots
That usmc excuse is typical uber bs from them; any good idea that they
didn’t steal from someone else is rejected…
2. Ski jump ramp takeoffs are considered safer than takeoffs over a flat top carrier. When
a Harrier launches from an American LHA (Landing Helicopter Assault) it might finish
its takeoff roll and begin flight at 60 ft (18 m) above the water. It might not have a
positive rate of climb, especially if the ship had pitched nose down during the takeoff
roll. Using a ski jump ramp the plane will certainly launch with a positive rate of climb
and its momentum will carry it to 150 to 200 ft (46 to 61 m) above the water.[14]
For example, an AV-8B Harrier with a gross weight of 29,000 lb (13,000 kg) on a 59 °F
(15 °C) day and a 35 kn (40 mph; 65 km/h) wind over the deck would require 400 ft
(120 m) to takeoff using a 12° ski jump ramp designed as on the Principe de Asturias,
but 750 ft (230 m) without the ski jump ramp.[14]
For a MiG-29 launching over the ski jump ramp on the Tbilisi, takeoff speed is reduced
from about 140 kn (160 mph; 260 km/h) to about 70 kn (81 mph; 130 km/h) (depending
on many factors such a gross weight).[15]
Carriers using STOVL aircraft and a ski jump ramp do not need catapults nor arresting
gear.
With the exception of the United States, France and Brazil, every navy in the world
that operates STOVL naval aircraft uses ski jump ramps.[14]
