Feline Flight Technology. This pic was smuggled out under conditions of extreme secrecy & danger; We can see that they have made great leaps in their program...

Is this one of those doggone pokey mans the young kids are talking about these days??

Cats have a plan!

 

[bigwheelzip]

Someone doctored the picture to blur the tailhook, so it must a naval version, designed for cat-a-pult launches.

 

[timn8er]

I wouldn't want to go looking for that tail hook myself...

Someone doctored the picture to blur the tailhook, so it must a naval version, designed for catapult launches.

I think that the tailhook is used for landings, not launches. And, anyway, cats are well-known for four-point vertical landings.

 

[loknload]

Where are these cats of which you speak?
We will win this war! We shall never surrender!

 

[timn8er]

Having seen both in action, my money is on the cats...

 

[Bajadoc]

That is a cool cat. A crash would be catastrophic. Hopefully that does not lead to a catastrophe.

The reason you can't see the 'tailhook' is because in cat combat operations the arresting wire is over head not laying on the landing deck like we mere humans require. This cat is ready for landing with gear down and tail 'hook' in full upright position. As the cat lands under the arresting wire the overhead tail 'hook' goes into operation and snags the wire. I'm sure our Navy is looking into this method as we speak.

 

[G.T. Smith]

an actual cat carrier

aint got no tail hook, but would work.
