The Navy could consider using a different system to catch incoming aircraft on its next generation of Gerald R. Ford-class (CVN-78) of aircraft carriers after the costs for the General Atomics-built Advanced Arresting Gear have more than doubled, USNI News has learned… news.usni.org/2016/05/24/19801 |

So is this sort of like the old joke "We've just invented brakes that will stop a plane going 400mph in just 30 feet…now we just need to invent a seatbelt to keep the pilot from going through the windshield…" |
