IONIAN SEA (Nov. 23, 2022) French Rafale fighter jets land, launch, and perform touch-and-goes aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) during multicarrier operations, Nov. 23, 2022. The George H.W. Bush CSG is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., allied and partner interests.

@@PrintScreen. well, it is nowhere near the same level of performance as the F-22 or the rafale, it is far less maneuvrable, and its range and payload are a joke. It is extremely expensive both to acquire and maintain, and its main advantage, the VTOL capability, is of no use to nuclear contries (like France or the US) which don't have to worry about airport being destroyed, and that have CATOBAR aircraft carriers. As for its "stealthness" bear in mind that the F-22 is already showing its limits, and that the F-35 has a much bigger radar signature. So, no, the F-35 is an engineering Marvel, but tactically speaking, it is just an other useless expensive-ass aircraft that sells only through lobbyism.

@@pierrevilley6675 That's a lot of hate off of mostly unavailable information, you have no idea how maneuverable the F-35 is, and if you're going to quote the dogfighting trials from years ago, then I can't take you seriously. That's been debunked so many times now. It is not expensive to acquire, it is expensive to maintain, especially its RAM (more resilient RAM is something being worked on). It has a larger RCS, supposedly, but it's still going to be pretty damn low. Its main advantages are its radar, information linking, and extremely high SA. All 3 of those things are massively important in BVR. Maneuverability? Lmao, Fox 3. I'm not going to say the plane is without fault; high maintenance costs are a big deal, but a lot of what you're saying is either baseless and/or makes no sense.

I'd like to point out to my fellow American viewers who might also be interested in joint US-French capabilities that a fair amount of French Navy pilots trainees are required, as part of their French flight certification course, to train and live at NAS Meridian in MS for months to get qualified on US Navy processes and flying T-45s. Failing to do so will not certify them to fly for the French Navy. Goes to show how important it is for the French Navy to be as perfect as it can be in interoperability with the US Navy. This joint training has been around for decades and is rightfully so prided by all French Navy personnel who spent some months of their life in Meridian. So you can imagine that these Rafales pilots landing on US carriers feel a bit like going home in a certain way. This is unheard of even in Europe we don't have this level of cooperation. FYI, F/A-18s are also routinely landing on Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft Carrier since it's been built to be fully interoperable with US hardware. Cheers from France folks.

Not really no, French pilots have the impression of coming home + their girlfriend's house and their mother's house, when we see the size of the US Navy aircraft carriers. On the other hand, when an American pilot lands on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, it seems that he has to close one eye in order to aim better. This is obviously a little joke.😉

​@@olivierpuyou3621well at the end of the day Rafale is much more effective in landing in a carrier than a f-35 in a us carrier about 30s instead of 45 which is a big deal so Charles de Gaulle is almost as capable as a Gerald R Ford carrier

Something that will never cease to impress me is the different ways in which engineers from different countries approach the same "problem" of creating a top tier aircraft. seeing the different planes from Europe like the Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon or SAAB Gripen, etc be similar in many design aspects and still different in and unique in their own ways makes you wonder how the US engineers made crafts that seem for the most part so drastically different in their design from other planes around the world. Such an intriguing thing to see

When I was on the Roosevelt we had British Harriers land on our deck quite frequently. Mostly for fuel. The deck guys hated them because they tore up our nonskid. The heat was so strong coming off the Pegasus engine that it just melted the deck down to bare metal in a 3 foot circle. If we had a bunch of them they would always spot them in the same area as to not damage any more of the deck than needed. A sacrificial patch. But I never saw a fixed wing tail hook aircraft from another nation make a trap landing, catapult takeoff. Just helo's and Harriers.

I began my service in NAVAIR during the Vietnam era. At the time, the USS Lexington (CVT-16} was used full time to carrier qualify pilots. I was stationed with an advanced jet training squadron in South Texas. Our pilots practiced carrier landing onshore using the duty runways which were marked like carrier decks and equipped with meatball mirrors. On carrier practice days an LSO (Landing Signal Officer) would be in place. Pilots saw the boat for the first time on carqual day. They had to shoot three bounces off of the angle deck with the hook up and then a trap (Arrested landing), and a cat shot. A bolter (Aircraft waved off by the LSO) did not automatically disqualify a pilot though it helped them very much to grab that No. 3 wire on their next attempt. We hosted some allied pilots as observers and we graduated a number of carrier qualified USAF pilots. You never forget your first trap because of that bang when you grab the wire. Side note: When I joined the squadron we were flying Grumman F9F-8 and TAF-9J Cougars. When I left we were flying Douglas A-4 and TA-4J Skyhawks. Both were superb aircraft. The Cougars were the most interesting because when you shot a bounce the aircraft would drop close to fifteen feet when you rolled off of the angle. The flight deck was roughly forty feet above the water.

We chose to be compatible because we're allies, it was never an obligation (other than through treaties and alliance rules, maybe). The US had to buy-in as well. To remain compatible, they can't make major changes to how their catapults connect to planes. Same way Google can't change Android too much without breaking every phone manufacturer's products.

French navy pilot get both their wings (USN) and "Macaron" (FN) at the same time after a period at Meridian NAS and make their first trap with T45 on US carriers. The catapult are the same (US made C13? with a 75m run), same launch and hold bar system. Only dif is the shooter use a flag on FN carrier (note the man in white jersey checking the shuttle is a french deck crew). From a personnal point of view i think the us shooters have more style, the french one is too rigid :( . That's just a refresher course for them. When a pilot has not made a trap for a long time (with only one carrier and no runway equiped with arresting gear and optics like those at Meridian it can be up to a one year hiatus for FN pilots) the sequence is always "wave off", "bolter", then "trap" for the exact reasons you mentioned.

No one should be surprised that French navy pilots get their carrier qualification by doing almost all of last stage of their training on American carriers. The reason is simple: France only has the Charles de Gaulle which must always be operational, while the United States has multiple aircraft carriers to get qualified alongside American pilots. Joint maneuvers between American F-18 pilots on the Charles de Gaulle and French pilots on the different American carriers are regular.

yes but not really, the charles de gaulle is a very small carrier compared to the US ones, land on US carriers is easier than land on the charles de gaulle. even take off, the rafale doesn't need afterburners on US carriers.

The reason is that our catapult systems on the Charles de Gaulle carrier are made in USA. The only nation allowed for now to operate and buy these military US systems. That's why our pilots go to USA for training at the Top Gun school and are certified for take off and landing on US carriers.

The Rafale’s front wheels are already aloft mid course when it takes off (around 0:06 ), you can tell it was designed for a smaller carrier.

The Rafale being smaller, lighter and with comparatively more airfoil, of course it's easier for them on a "gigantic" US carrier ;)

You never start off by going for a full landing. First a few fly overs, then a few touch-and-gos, and then actual attempted landings.
