Wait, is that jet really about to bust a sweet jump off that ramp?
Yes, most other countries’ aircraft carriers are diesel-powered and don’t have the energy budget to run steam (or electromagnetic) catapults the way the US’ nuclear-powered carriers do, so they use ski jumps instead and make do with lighter aircraft.
For more info, look up “CATOBAR” and “STOBAR”. Edit: or “STOVL” in the case of the carrier pictured, the HMS Prince of Wales.
This sounds like the USA is putting in just as much as before, only others are putting in more, am I reading that right? The article does not clarify.
