25 updates scheduled before the end of fourth quar
Post# of 30028
The USS Ronald Reagan has a length of 1092 feet, and a runway adequate to launch aircraft. The actual fight deck is approximately 400 feet. Over that span, an aircraft must reach rotation speed of approximately 160mph for lift off. To achieve flight airspeed must reach rotate optimum. 300 feet of runway will not achieve that speed.
Gerald has set the goal of reaching your 25 updates in the fourth quarter of 2014. He has 29 days to rotate. A Hornet on the USS Ronald Reagan needs all 400 feet to lift off. Gerald still has 29 days. Let's stay tuned and give the AMBS team the full length before being overly critical.
