Carrier Suitability Tests of the Model A-6A Aircraft

Abstract

Launching the A-6A aircraft from the H-8 hydraulic catapult is feasible. Eight launches were conducted from the H-8 catapult and no aircraft deficiencies were observed. Launching the A-6A above 40,000 lb gross weight from the H-8 catapult is considered impractical because of the relatively high wind over the deck required.
