Yes, look at #50 above..... MarkI believe Fokker had also a design for a carrier-based F-28
A carrier based....airliner!!I'm still disappointed they didn't proceed with any of them. It'd have been so cool to see this in real life:
Here from the early 70's an concept of a Grumman C-2 with four jet engines (TF-3 ?).

The primary source might be a magazine like AW&ST from that time period.
Not in any way an expert, but I understood jets are spooling up as they hit the deck, then throttle back once realised they are hooked.Here from the early 70's an concept of a Grumman C-2 with four jet engines (TF-3 ?).

Comparing turbo-props with turbo-fans ... how does spool-up time compare in the event of a missed arrestor cable?
I'd love to see a model or a deck layout, with say 2 x F28 on deck.Yes, COD airplanes have folding wings to reduce their deck space. We frequently see photos of CODs parked on aircraft carrier decks.
Can CODs fold small enough to stow in hangars below deck?
How often do CODs stay on a carrier over-night?

Thank you for sharing this great document with the forum Hobbes!!I've started building a model of the F-28 COD, a build report is over here: http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,35270.0.html
I found this artist impression WyvernDoes anyone have any documentation or drawings of the Boeing 737 COD?
From nearly 7 years of non stop deployments I've never seen a C-2 down in the hanger bay. They might stay over night and launch in the morning. My rate was one of those where you went out of your way to be our friend the COD crews were also highly desirable to make friends with as well. The looks of disbelief I'd get from folks seeing me with a big bag of Taco Bell was priceless.Yes, COD airplanes have folding wings to reduce their deck space.
