      What could possibly go wrong?

      …also can you imagine the off-center torque you’d get if you actually fired one of those turret guns?

      …and what happens if one of those big turbines fails? Everybody just dies? No way that thing is staying level with only 3 fans running.

      everything about this design is stupid

        You just have to constantly fire the turrets downwards near the failed turbine to keep everything level. I don’t see an issue there at all.

          Wasn’t them at the A Team?

      I was about to say it would just work like the old ski ramp decks but the fans have to be pushing air down sooo

      E) Although, since it’s all Stark tech, there’s no reason it can’t have thrusters that activate when that fan is switched directions to give the jets a boost of lift like a bird riding a thermal. That could make for a pretty badass takeoff scene

      Why do they even need runways for taking off? Yeah you want to make sure your engines start but it’s not like you need to reach a specific speed to get in the air nor do you need to be generating lift.

      Imagine how much more quickly you could react by just dropping all your aircraft off the side at the same time (with engines running) rather than be bottlenecked behind individual runway use

        Those carriers are amphibious, they land on water. Presumably they want to be able to operate on the surface as well.
