As a skier, F-35s use the ski jump because they like skiing. Obviously.

Plus it's far more fuel efficient to launch them than to have them take off vertically, that means more range.

Not 5 minutes and 5 bots are present.😂

Also, the F-35 comes in 3 main varieties.
F-35A land based version. Operated by USAF
F-35B short take off vertical landing version. Operated by USMC.
F-35C carrier version. Operated by USN.

Compared to flat deck, non catapult launches, yes they are better but compared to catapult-assisted takeoff, they are inferior by far. Ski jump planes have to carry a lighter load, far less ordinance and less fuel on take off, and usually must be refueled before the mission. Flat deck carriers are more about helicopters that also support vtol.

That’s a British thing, used originally for the Harrier jump jet.

Cuz the British MoD cheaped out on the full catobar system, even though QE was designed to have them...

Very good info, nicely done. Pros and cons of a ramp well brought out! First time I've ever heard it explained.

The ramp means less fuel and less ordinance - not more - than a catapult

With a catapult planes can carry more fuel and ordinance. The use less fuel for takeoff.

I would love to see the numbers behind this and what actually happens on paper.

I was gonna say the Hawkeye can't launch from USN Amphib assault ships but we have plenty of supercarriers. But now I see perhaps the disadvantage is the other nations' ski-ramp carriers can't do it either. (?)

Ski jumps can launch anything except the E-2s and cargo like that

(X-65 CRANE) ??? is an experimental aircraft with a flight test scheduled for 2025. The program aims to create a plane completely controlled by jets of pressurized air which manipulates the surrounding air flows while in flight.

Put it like this it’s not a true carrier it’s a amphibious assault ship

None of our carriers have this ski jump ramp. All aircraft are launched by catapult

Maybe if you live in Great Britain but when we do stuff here in the United States we use a flat surface
