SKI jump STO
The F-35B flight
control law mode
incorporates a so-called ski
jump STO [Short Take-Off]
Mode.
There is no action on the
part of the pilot to engage it,
other than to ensure the aircraft
is steered up the ski jump;
rather, the mode is enabled
when the control law detects
the rotation and rotation rate as
the aircraft accelerates.
