radxsays...I didn't know the Indians changed the carrier from V/STOL to STOBAR. Fascinating.
SFOGuysays...Someone who knows verify something for me; by definition, a catapult-less launched aircraft must have less payload/weapons/fuel than a catapult-launched aircraft? Or does making an aircraft robust enough to catapult launch wash out that difference?
I had sort of assumed 1) that catapults allowed a higher weight aircraft and 2) that all aircraft had to be robust enough to plop down on a deck and that was the limiting step...
