Looks like we're turning to the south so we can launch aircraft.

However, two of the four aircraft launched by Tone during the attack were shot down.

We'd come around to a decent course for launching aircraft.

The mission, which under normal circumstances would have taken several days to plan, was planned and the aircraft launched in less than an hour.

Which is why we're going to launch aircraft now.

A few minutes later, more than one hundred aircraft launched from their carriers will have eliminated your air force.

Only 15 percent of the aircraft launched on combat missions failed to reach their target.

Spotting his flight decks and launching aircraft would have required at least 30 to 45 minutes.

But during the war, as many as four carriers moved into the 500-mile stretch of water to launch aircraft against Iraq.

Converted ships were initially used to launch aircraft with landings in the sea.

It automatically began an approach behind the launch aircraft.

Target designation data can be introduced into the missile from the launch aircraft or external sources.

Even if the launch aircraft is capable of autonomous designation, the problems described above remain.

However it proved difficult to use in practice as the launch aircraft had to dive towards the target.

Limitations of the launch aircraft's radar restricted operation to above 3,000 meters.

This is the slant range between the launch aircraft and target, at the time of interception.

The missile's receiver, fitted at the rear, only detected signals from the launch aircraft.

This problem was solved by having the launch aircraft slow down and enter a climb to avoid overtaking the bomb as it fell.

In 1939 researchers at the California Institute of Technology were trying to make a motor to help launch aircraft.

Range between 50 and 70 km, depending on the altitude and the speed of the launch aircraft.
