I am yet to see a single instance of a parahute being deployed where an arrestor landing takes place. There is simply no need for an extra deceleration device when you have an arrestor wire- the force it exerts is immense and it is able to halt even a large C-2 in a matter of 100m. Where is the...

No, I understand where you are coming from brother and I'm not denying that parachute assisted landings are commonplace for fighters landing on shore but for carrier fighters it is VERY different. The limited deckspace/landing area mean that parachutes are NEVER used as they don't offer the...

K. Sivan, a scientist involved in the latest project, said the seven-metre (23-foot) long shuttle survived the test flight, and scientists hope subsequent models six times as big, to be built over the next decade, will glide safely back to land. "We have located the place where the vehicle is...

Which naval aircraft makes use of a parachute on landing? On carriers, aircraft (with the exception of V/STOL fighters) are "recovered" to the deck with the use of arrestor wires that are "hooked" by tail hooks on the aircraft. In the case of the RLV in this test it was ALWAYS intended to...

Any updates on the 5KM runway ISRO needs to be build to land the RLV?
