@bandboy66 Do we need to count aircraft carriers??? The British navy is a good bunch of blokes, just got no sea legs for their air power at this time.
@bandboy66 hahaha than why cant you make your own navy planes they are byeing the usa's f35s and and usa are equiping lasers on the navy ships soon that means no one can hit them with a missile and it will also burn a hole in ships
@kirbyroxy actually the F35 is a joint strike fighter because a bunch of countries paid for it to be built. I dont know about laser beams and death stars but whatever helps you sleep at night =)
@bandboy66 no navy or marine beats the dutch marine. only we dont have air carriers. but beleve me. our dutch marines are BEARS! all fear got beaten out of them :P and its prooven by discovery. the best navy and marine is the netherlands marine. then the british and then the american. only because the usa has a lot of ships and carriers doesnt means that they are the best ;)
@yourcomingoffstupid Why the hate? Do you realize how powerful you two are combined? Ever wonder why no one wants to mess with you guys? ... Look at your equipment and come back :P
It's always the same amount of time down the cat, the end speed can be preset by the cat crew. I used to look for 100 knots min day and 150 kts at night for fly away.
@cerrutiboy Lateral G of about 3.5 down the cat. So it pushes you back into the ejection seat rather than pressing down your spine as in a regular hard G turn.
@cerrutiboy It takes about 2 seconds to travel about 200ft and reaches about 180mph... for an F-14. I'd assume that those numbers do vary slightly based on the aerodynamics (lift, mostly) of all aircraft.
Pilot are trained to do so, and the F-18's don't take up near as much room as the F-14 did, so there's more room to play with on a landing. Landing decks are cleared before a landing
America's aircraft carriers are substantially larger than all the other aircraft carriers in the world. American carriers of all classes add up to about 75 acres of deck space. The rest of the world's carriers have about 15 acres of deck space, one fifth that of America's. They have plenty of space to land. They are also trained to perfection.
@J05HWJ We land in the open deck called the landing area...taxi off, folding our wings (back in a tomcat, up in a hornet) and park in front of the island.
Carrier jobs are total shit, I repect anyone dumb enought to enlist and put 8 years on a ship as a vertual slave. Fighter jockeys are the Dukes and Officers are the insane kings.
All navy people should get a fully paid college education and houseing and food when they get out of there term of service.
trillon dollars to wallstreet whores and bandets and not a penny to the heros.
Hopefully the military will set things right one day.
To Pigcowgreen: Have you ever heard of Veterans Affairs? Our retired servicemen are treated very well with free healthcare and further incentives such as a reduced or free college tuition. Think before writing next time.
but the airforce pays for evrything ,college housing,food, as long as u work hard and keep ur end of the bargain they will take care of u , im not criticizing ui or the navy, the usaf recruiter told us that they give more than the other branches and unlike the marines or army they dont make u clean up stuff like janitors or mess with ur free time.
Are you serious? You are believing a recruiter? I've heard that before. All branches have a college program, food, and housing. The only thing the AF does different is focus more than the others is on quality of living.
Also, AF does do janitor work just like the other services. Your recruiter is lying if he/she says differently; it's part of the job. As for free time; if they need you they WILL get you.
Well, in any country, Navy and AF is more technical, so less reservists, and they give you less shit. Unlike ground forces where you tend to get treated like shit.
They just launched it out of the Northrop Grumman Newport News drydock 10 days ago after the christening on Oct 7. It's expected to be commissioned in January.
Those launches are a kick in the pants!!! Loved the video... The F-14 Tomcat is my favorite combat jet in the military...I have other's, but this is my #1!!! David
Are you in the navy?? If you are do you work on a carrier?
I do. Im not an airdale, but I can respect the fact that they can get their heads blown off if they move the wrong way. Some jobs are risky, some are not. Mine is more risky on some things, but for risk of personal harm, these guys take the cake. Why do you think they get flight deck pay??
That said, Im not some civilian punk who's guessing here, part of my job is providing steam for the catapult systems.
I can say that I worked both down below in the Engine rooms and on the Flight Deck...Dangers in both, but the Flight Deck has to be the most dangerous. I saw some of the things you all talk about. Guys getting blown over the side ...plane crashing...guys run over by planes...even a guy being decapitated. I did my time...USS Saratogo(CV60)

is there anyone who can tell me the sort of acceleration that the pilot experiences in these launches? 0-100km/hr in 1.5 sec?
cerrutiboy 3 years ago
Depends.. 3-5 g's :D
shortsk8er16 3 years ago
It all depends on the aircraft, its weight, and the weight of its payload. The F-14 would launch, on average, at 150 Knots or 173 MPH/278 KPH.
The time varies on weight as well but assume 1.5-3 seconds.

(100 km/hr)X(1 hr/3600 sec)X(1000 m/km)=
