is employed to find Mro for a given Wro/S and thus the applicable values of
et, K1, K2, and Coo. Because they vary slowly with WTo/S, the constraint bound-
ary is a line of almost constant TSL/Wro.
2.2.10 Case 10: Carrier Takeoff
Given: n = 1 (L = W), Vro, dV/dt, CL
max,
kTo, 1~, and the values of h and a.
Solving Eq. (2.44) for wing loading gives
WTO PsL C L max V•O
T max = 2~k2ro (2.45)
where the takeoff velocity (Vro) is the sum of the catapult end speed (Ve.d) and
the wind-over-deck (Vwod) or
Vro = Ve,d + Vwoa (2.46)
A typical value of kro is 1.1 and of Ve,d is 120 kn (nautical miles per hour).
Wind-over-deck can be 20 to 40 kn, but design specifications may require launch
with zero wind-over-deck or even a negative value to ensure launch at anchor. This
constraint boundary is simply a vertical line on a plot of thrust loading vs wing
loading with the minimum thrust loading given, as already seen in Eq. (2.43), by

where or, K1, KE, and Coo are evaluated at static conditions. A typical value of
the required minimum horizontal acceleration at the end of the catapult (dV/dt) is
0.3 go.

where the touchdown velocity (Vro) is the sum of the engagement speed (Ve.g,
the speed of the aircraft relative to the carrier) and the wind-over-deck (Vwod), or
Vro = Veng + Vwod
A typical value ofkro is 1.15 and of Ve.g is 140 kn (nautical miles per hour). As
in Case 10, this constraint boundary is simply a vertical line on a plot of thrust
