Why is the bow higher than the runway?
How long before a jet clips that thing on takeoff?
Many countries opt to add a ramp rather than a highly complex and problematic catapult system that we use.
This includes Western countries.
The American catapult system system allowed for tactically superior craft equipped with more fuel and ammo, but the design is Hell, both on the carrier side and designing aircraft that can take the stress.
Our latest design with electrically driven catapults had to go back to dock to work a lot of kinks after sea trials.
US carriers launch aircraft in 300 feet that would otherwise need 2000+ feet of runway to take off.
