Memes aside, how does a ramp work? If the aircraft has not enough

It angles the plane upward increasing lift

>>34571532
More Angle of attack = more lift

Catapults increase lift by having higher vilocity.
Ramps do it by having more aggressive angle of attack.
Theoretically you can have some system of discarding wing sections to increase lift by increasing area.

Someone please tell me things will be better.

you will never see anything with a less than very high thrust to weight ratio on a carrier with a ramp, because it just launches the planes up higher, allowing them the time and space to accelerate to a speed at which they can fly. Essentially it's an extension of room to accelerate. this is why the Russians typically don't fly aircraft that aren't Mig-29K or the naval variant of the SU-25 from the kuznetsov. They need that high thrust to weight ratio to accelerate up the ramp, where they'll have enough drop room to fall while they accelerate to lifting speed without hitting the water.

Su-27. Su-25 is an attack plane.

A fucking RAMP

Kek he doesn't even know he's planes and he thinks he knows ramps.

"The Su-25UTG (Uchebno-Trenirovochnyy s Gakom) is a variant of the Su-25UB designed to train pilots in takeoff and landing on a land-based simulated carrier deck, with a sloping ski-jump section and arrester wires. The first one flew in September 1988, and approximately 10 were produced.[73] About half remained in Russian service after 1991; they were used on Russia's sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. This small number of aircraft were insufficient to meet the training needs of Russia's carrier air group, so a number of Su-25UBs were converted into Su-25UTGs. These aircraft being distinguished by the alternative designation Su-25UBP (Uchebno-Boyevoy Palubny) —the adjective palubnyy meaning "deck", indicating that these aircraft have a naval function.[74] Approximately 10 of these aircraft are currently operational in the Russian Navy as part of the 279th Naval Aviation Regiment.[75]"

KSP is an alright aircraft design simulator; it simulates some basic stuff and with mods you can go a bit further but ultimately it can't model any fluid dynamics stuff.

>Su-25 is an attack plane
lots of "attack planes" are carrier capable. Including the su-25.

Su-27's weren't really carrier aircraft. It was quite a big deal when they first landed a Su-27 on a carrier. They certainly weren't designed for it.

>>34572110
I mean, I'm flattered that you think I'm secretly a plane, but I think I would know if I was a plane, or quite especially several planes.

The SU-33, best described as a Modified SU-27 adapted for naval operations, is no longer in service with the Russian navy as far as I know, being replaced by the MiG-29K. Or at the very least they INTENDED to have it out of service by now, seeing as they only produced a few (24?) and decided not to make more. Also, yeah, the carrier variant of the SU-25 for dedicated strike roles.

Same thing, more faffing about.
Cat and extended nose gear and hold back and wall.
Or a ramp.

>Su-27's weren't really carrier aircraft
The Su-27K/Su-3333 is however, seeing as they are heavily modified, its not just a Su-27P with a hook and folding wings.
>is no longer in service with the Russian navy as far as I know
They are, recently overhauled and with multi-role capabilities added, and with new engines currently under production.
>being replaced by the MiG-29K
They where bought because the Indians offset most of the production line set up costs. And obviously as a stimulus package for Mikoyan.
