For the problem above with the minimum speed for takeoff being 200 MPH, this is longer than your typical-480 ft carrier. To get to 200 MPH in a shorted distance a catapult system is used to provide extra thrust. What acceleration in feet/s must you achieve to reach the required minimum speed by the end of the deck for the shorter typical carrier length with this system assisting?
