A 26-ton Navy jet (Fig. 3-27) requires an air speed of 280 ft/s for lift-off Its own engine develops a thrust of 24,000 lb. The jet is to take off from an aircraft carrier with a 300-ft flight deck. What force must be exerted by the catapult of the carrier? Assume that the catapult and the jet’s engine each exert a constant force over the 300-ft takeoff distance.
