Now I know what you're thinking now, your crew will just operate with oxygen masks then. It's really a temporary fix and even then, a rather ugly fix. Oxygen masks tend to limit crew movement and be imperfect (particularly in sealing), which is why the B-29 was such a big deal in that it had pressu...

Skijump brings safety in take off as aircraft is send out high in sky and that gives pilot vital seconds to eject if things go wrong and power is lost. Catobar enables much higher take off weights but has much less error marginal for pilot right after launch. If catapult is a straight one currently ...
