@jockeleu because of the strong wind of 18knt. An airplane achieves lift when enough air passes below the wings. Usually this is accomplished with accelerating the aircraft to a certain speed but in this case the strong wind is doing the work instead.
Generally it's a lot more to do with air passing OVER the wings. The top of the wings deflect air down, causing lift. That's why aircraft can carry weopons, engines or fuel tanks under the wing, yet still gain significant lift from the clear top surface of the wing. But yeah, a strong headwind definitely helps
Moving cargo in Alaska is the goal, so isn't it really about the shortest runway with a loaded plane and no wind or hill in your favor? This really only highlights a cool stunt, not the best pilot & plane.
The aircraft is heavily modified Super Cub and will compete in the town of Valdez (Alaska) for the short take off prize that is measured in tens of feet rather than the hundreds.
That's a lot of wind

空母からの発艦はスチームの力で瞬間的に離陸可能速度まで加速させるんで、強風の向かい風とはちょと違う気がする。
昔強風の中でラジコンの飛行機飛ばしたときに、同じ現象や上空でバックした経験があった^^
降ろそうと思ってもどんどん遠ざかっていくので、さすがに慌てたなー・・・^^;

camomaniasさんはカタパルトの事じゃなくて巡航してるかどうかの事を言ったんじゃないかな?
艦隊の巡航速度は大体18ノット。18ノットで移動してるなら向風18ノットになる。さらに、風がある場合は基本的に艦首をその方向に向けるのでさらに風は強くなる。そういう事を言ってるのでは?
知ったかしてごめんなサイ。わざわざレスして炭増せん

確かにそういう意味でなら理論的には合ってますね。僕のほうこそ余計なコメしてすみませんでした。
ただ風速の場合はたいてい秒速で言うし速度の場合は時速だから、計算上時速18ノットと言うと秒速に直せば10m以下ですからね。
戦闘機が離陸するには巡航の向かい風だけではどうなのかなという気もしないではないです。
もちろん強風下で艦首を風上に向けて巡航すればもっと効果が上がるだろうし、実際にはそういったことも補助的に活用しながら運用しているのでしょうけどね。
ただ現実的に台風並みの暴風の中で発艦することがあるかと考えれば、それもちょっと疑問だし・・・?
kazbon0515 2 months ago
18ノットの向かい風なら風速32m以上。ほとんど滑走しないで離陸できる。空母からの発艦と同じ理屈。しかし実際にみるとすごいな。

あの軽量機なら向かい風風速30m以上(時速百数十Km程度)なら滑走せずに浮くだろう。
空中を飛行中ならほとんどホバリング状態も可能だろうね。(もしかしたらバックも?)w

The plane is built by them, and it was probably built to be VERY light and to be able to take advantage of very strong winds.
In normal weather conditions, I don`t think that engine has enough power to do such a lift off if the plane was manned or heavy enough.
