	[No title]
		You could make a much smaller aircraft carrier, for instance, if you're using turboprop/prop driven planes (such as escort carriers which were converted freighters during WWII).
		Essentially Charles de Gaulle is about the smallest practical CTOL carrier, and even she could have benefited nicely from a 20 meter stretch (and another reactor) IIRC.
		But the ship is more efficient if bigger and especially have an oblique track to free catapult.

	The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
		The CTOL variant for the USAF deleted the lift jet and replaced it with a fuel tank for longer range.
		For the CTOL and CV variants, the lift fan was deleted and replaced with additional fuel tanks.
		First flight of the Lockheed Martin "X-35A" CTOL variant was on 24 October 2000, with first flight of the "X-35C" CV variant on 16 December 2000.

	Joint Strike Fighter
		At the rear of the fuselage is a pitch-axis vectoring nozzle for the engine exhaust, which provides the remaining thrust to balance the aircraft.
		The CTOL and STOVL versions have the same wing design, which has increased area compared to the X-35A/B. The CV version has much larger wings and tail surfaces and strengthened landing gear, including a twin wheel noseleg.
		The CTOL and CV versions will not feature the slightly bulged area behind the cockpit, which houses the lift-fan on the STOVL version, allowing a larger canopy glazed area.

	Pratt & Whitney To Have Seven F135s in Test by Midsummer
		Once fan evaluations are concluded, the powerplant will reenter the program for accelerated mission testing--another attempt to identify and resolve any performance and operability problems as early as possible.
		According to Gostic, three of the seven SDD test engines will be in the CTOL configuration, while four will be built as short takeoff/vertical landing (Stovl) versions.
		The third CTOL engine, FX632, will be outfitted with telemetry instrumentation and will perform altitude development work at AEDC.

	Navy Matters \| Future Aircraft Carrier Pictures
		The ship is configured as a "conventional take-off and landing" CTOL carrier, on deck are CV variant JSF fighters (both the winning Lockheed Martin design, and a few of the losing Boeing design), E-2C Hawkeye AEWandC aircraft, and a Merlin HM.1 helicopter is overhead.
		The hanger is accommodating 6 Merlin helicopters, 16 F-35C fighters, and 4 Hawkeye E-2's, while 22 F-35C's and 1 Hawkeye E-2 are shown parked on the flight deck.
		Although BAE Systems was selected as the preferred Prime Contractor for the CVF programme, the CVF design would actually be based on that of the losing Thales Naval team, which was judged to be technically superior to that of BAE's in several key areas.

	RAND \| Papers \| A Model for Evaluating VSTOL versus CTOL Combat Aircraft Systems.
		A cost-effectiveness study of the use of vertical or short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) aircraft for combat missions.
		VSTOL are compared with conventional (CTOL) aircraft as tactical fighters in a future NATO environment.
		The conditions under which VSTOL and CTOL aircraft can be considered competitive systems are carefully described.

		The F-35 CTOL variant will be optimized for attack duties with a limited air-to-air capability to complement the F-15 and F-22.
		While the CTOL and CV variants can carry 2,000-lb weapons internally, the largest weapon the F-35B can carry in its weapon bays is the 1,000-lb GBU-32 JDAM.
		Multi-role conventional takeoff (CTOL) fighter based on the X-35A but with a slightly lengthened fuselage and modified tail surfaces, developed for the US Air Force and equipped with an internal gun, infrared sensors, and a laser designator; USAF plans to buy 1,736 but announced in December 2004 that this total will be reduced

	Naval Institute Proceedings: STOVL JSFs Put Teeth in Sea Basing, by Major Andrew G. Shorter, U.S. Marine Corps
		This stems from the V/STOL's ability to generate a greater number of sorties for a given time period, primarily because it is unconstrained by the normal deck cycles of CTOL aircraft.
		To maximize the return on investment for the Sea Basing concept in support of national security strategies, we should ensure a percentage of the STOVL variant is procured by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force.
		This aircraft has closed the CTOL fighter performance gap, and would provide each service an extremely flexible platform capable of expeditionary operations while based afloat or on shore.

	AMI International - Definitions of Vessel Types
		A CTOL aircraft carrier requires steam catapults, an angled recovery deck, and arresting gear; features that significantly increase cost and ship size.
		The United Kingdom is examining CTOL, STOVL, and STOBAR options for the CVF, but is believed to favor the STOVL option.
		A STOBAR aircraft carrier is a compromise option; like a CTOL aircraft carrier, it is fitted with an angled recovery deck and arresting gear, but like a STOVL aircraft carrier, it has a ski jump forward and no steam catapults.

	Goodrich ships 1st F35 Joint Strike Fighter landing gea
		Goodrich has shipped the first Conventional Take-Off and Landing (CTOL) nose gear for the Joint Strike Fighter, and is soon to ship the main gear as well, to the Lockheed-Martin Aeronautics facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
		In addition to the landing system for the Air Force's CTOL variant of the aircraft, as the landing systems integrator, Goodrich is responsible for the design, manufacture and test of unique landing systems, for the Short Take- Off, Vertical Landing (STOVL) and the Carrier Variant (CV) of the aircraft.
		The CTOL landing gear system ships out of Goodrich's Cleveland, Ohio facility where it was assembled.

	The Joint Strike Fighter - meeting 21st Century military needs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It is a CTOL (Conventonal Take-Off and Landing) fighter, meaning it will use traditional air fields.
		But affordable, multi-purpose fighters are the new trend for the 21st century, and that's a big challenge for both Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
		Boeing's first prototype, the X-32, is the CTOL version.

	Navy Matters \| Future Aircraft Carrier Pre-Downselect Part 1
		Initially both STOVL and CTOL designs had to be considered in AP2, a BAE spokesmen stated in early 2002: 'We've agreed with the MoD that we'll do a certain amount of twin tracking.
		A CTOL carrier modified for STOVL operations for a bow ski-jump, but able to be fitted catapults and arrestor gear if required at some point in the future.
		Indeed Thales had been always stressed the commonality of their CTOL designs and STOVL hulls, and BAE also began emphasising that their larger CTOL design could easily be adapted to a STOVL configuration and ordered as such, but the MOD would then have the option to convert it over to CTOL if the requirement appeared.

		Pratt established an industry standard when it brought four JSF119 variant engines to test – two CTOL versions and two STOVL version engines for both the X-32 and X-35 – within 23 months of receiving a contract for the program, and delivered flight hardware within 36 months.
		The delivery of these flight-test engines, complete with CTOL software, to Boeing and Lockheed Martin meets their first-flight plans.
		Pratt and Whitney is also preparing to support flight tests of the STOVL JSF airplane, stated Cea.

		The CTOL will be the most produced variant, as current requirements call for nearly 1,800 aircraft.
		Like the CTOL model, the CV aircraft will have a pair of internal weapons bays each capable of carrying a 2,000-pound precision-guided munition and an AIM-120.
		A CTOL will be the first JSF to be flown from the NAS Fort Worth JRB runway next to the Fort Worth plant in three and a half years.

		Pratt and Whitney's new JSF119 military turbofan, in development for competing Boeing and Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter candidate aircraft, is poised to begin flight testing of the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) engine variant.
		The JSF119-614 as fitted to the Boeing X-32A, and the JSF119-611 of the Lockheed Martin X-35A, successfully completed flight clearance testing earlier this year.
		To date the JSF119 series has accumulated over 2,400 hours in ground testing in subsonic and supersonic conditions.
