Can bombs that are dropped from aircraft be detonated on the ground or do they have to be dropped?
and if they can does it have the same effect.
Depends on the skill of the technician who is modifying the weapon.

George Carlin - Airplane Safety
How far does a plane need to travel to take off from and aircraft carrier?
How far does a plane need to travel to take off from and aircraft carrier? It will be an F-14 Tomcat... This is for a physics problem based off of the opening clip on "Top Gun".
Thanks!!!
I also spent time on a carrier in my hay day. However, the answer above didn't mention how "far" but he said how fast. Anyways, the catapult as it's termed is 300 ft long, or the exact length of a football field. It sounds big, but it's really not.
It can shoot an F-14, F-18, or any other airplane from 0-150 in 3 seconds!!!!! So the pilots rev up the engines to full throttle, full flaps down and away they go off into the wild blue yonder.
In regards to the answer above, the ideal takeoff speed for an F-14 is not 85 knots. That would only be around 95 MPH. There's no way in hell an F-14 would fly anywhere but straight into the water at that speed.
Air craft carriers face into the wind when launching airplanes. The extra wind over the deck will give the planes better lift and help them take off better. So when they are getting thrown at 140-150 mph by the catapult, the extra wind fromthe headwind could actually simulate another 20 knots of air over the wings.
Anyways, in Top Gun, while Tom Cruise is getting ready to go into the danger zone, he's about to get catapulted off a 300 foot runway!!
Oh by the way, there are approximately 4 catapults on a carrier.
















Nothing.
I don't get UFO nuts. If aliens are sooooo intelligent to travel billions of light years to earth. Why don't they land on the White House lawn or Central Park, why always in the boonies.
If they don't want to be seen, you would think they would be intelligent enough not to be seen.
