Do you know examples of V/STOL vehicles that use catapults? Typically they can just do a short rolling takeoff when a runway is available.As a designer, i wouldn't want to saddle my airplane with all the penalties of a VTOL powerplant, AND put the beefy structure required to drag the whole vehicle by the nosegear, which is substantially more than a land-based equivalent.
