the assertion (not mine, but it doesn't matter) was the Fords had too short deck in the sense
aircraft would be so heavy (assuming enough ordnance/fuel) they would need rather high takeoff speed, and the shorter the deck, the higher acceleration to achieve that takeoff speed
(the argument was related to suggesting either too low ordnance/fuel, or too high force needed, with obvious drawbacks)"
Click to expand...

145knt is the max that the system will handle comfortably... so to get the C model to cross the stern at 145knts max was the target, that's at gross weight, or close to it.....

The Ford is plenty long, those wires do what they need to do, that's why they worked so hard to get the airspeed to the target threshold.
