I want to know the answer to the following question:
What do aircraft do when landing in order to stop on a short distance?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Post-WWII Royal Navy research on safer CATOBAR recovery eventually led to universal adoption of a landing area angled off axis to allow aircraft who missed the arresting wires to "bolt" and safely return to flight for another landing attempt rather than crashing into aircraft on the forward deck.". Is that enough to answer the question?
