That part broke before launch and caused the jet to swerve to a side like in a cartoon, almost sending it overboard on its side and crashing with the bow.

so does it launch on its own? I thought there was a guy pressing a button
@x-planed7 күн бұрын
As „the guy” pushes the button the steam pressure in the system rises increasing the combined force to the point where the holdback releases the aircraft

Question for the editor….did you ever serve or assigned working on a U.S. Naval Carrier? First hand experience is a pet-peeve of mine. Just curious of your experience first hand.

My only problem with these vids is that the narrator's accent is so thick that I have a hard time understanding him. This isn't xenophobic criticism (I know he can't help his voice), but he should consider passing narration duties to someone who can speak more clearly. Otherwise, I think these vids are great!

Hey x-planed I’ve been wondering for a while now what it means when the deck crew wear black shirts under their vest, I hope you can enlighten me.

Every aircraft carrier innovation into the 1950's was of British design. Angled flight deck , steam catapult , mirror landing system . First Jet landing and take off. Watching this , one would think it was the Americans

Awesome explanation of hold back bar, I was CAT ONE petty officer on USS KITTY HAWK in Vietnam, 71-72. Had bridle and nose tow system back then. Much more physical work than this system,I had 4 crew under planes for bridle launch. Big improvement from 50yrs ago. We were launching. About 240 birds a day during flight ops. Balls to the wall

This depiction of a so-called soft shot is not a good analogy. The A-6 Intruder involved in this video had engine failure and, therefore, was not, in fact, a soft shot.

Ironic that 3 of the key technologies which made large deck CATOBAR carriers possible were all developed by the Royal Navy: he mirror landing aid, steam catapults and the angled deck. Now Britain has 2 big deck carriers but they are only able to support the VSTOL version of the F-35

Outstanding explanation. Now I can really enjoy flight deck operations.

I am a former ABE, Gear Dawg. I shared this because I'm super grateful to finally see our system represented in media. I don't know necessarily what information is supposed to be shared, but I at least enjoyed the visual! Well done. I'm super curious how you created the animations, but I know nothing of the technology!
@x-planed2 ай бұрын
I’m always happy getting positive feedback about my work but I’m double happy reading comments from people who actually are/were directly involved in carrier ops. You guys give me great motivation. How I make my animations? Well apart from being a pilot I’m also a professional 3d layout designer/animator. These two activities are pretty far away from each other but thanks to this channel I can combine both of them into one😉

Wow, it's pretty cool to see this after so many years! I was catapult 2 crew on the E in the mid 70's. Did weightboard, bow safety, water brakes, end speed and this holdback bar hook-up job. Back then we also still had some bridle planes which the hook-up person would also handle. Interesting times!

I remember the Dog-bones, but didn't know how the Holdback actually worked. Ingenious design. Not more wasted metal over the side. Just for a second imagine how much weight in tons were used just in Dog-bones over the years? Probably enough to build a small navy ship!
