    Are there any non-VTOL jets that can actually take off from a carrier without any assistance ? I thought they were either catapulted or the runway had to be sloped upwards (and possibly longer than 500m iirc)

      Yes they need assistance, but finding straight road with a few kilometers length isn’t that hard.
