David Hobbs provides a detailed description of how short rolling takeoffs and ski jump takeoffs work with Harriers (and other aircraft) on page 315 of his book British Aircraft Carriers. The principle behind the ship ski jump is the same as every other ramp used to launch things into the air including well ski jumps.


Would have thought even Tom Clancy should have known that? Maybe he had never heard of Ken Carter?
