AIRPLANE TAKE-OFF SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention provides a system for launching aircraft into free flight regime regardless of runway conditions, wherein a sled of the self-powered air cushion vehicle type is configured in plan form so as to accept in temporarily locked relation thereupon and in combination therewith an airplane in such manner that a successful take-off run in mutually aerodynamically com- patible regime may be accomplished in spite of surface problems with the runway. Upon attainment of airborne speed, under control of the pilot the aircraft lifts off the sled into full free flight; and thus is airborne albeit the runway is at the time unusable by conventional wheel-geared aircraft; for example, as the result of a previous bombing attack on the runway by enemy aircraft. The sled incorporates self-propelling and directional guidance means for retrieval/reuse purposes, as well as a take-off abort control system.
