It isn't too far off from launching biplanes from the Akron / Macon airships. The biplanes had a big hook on top to latch into the trapeze mechanism, which isn't shown in the movie.
The other nitpick is that the airship should really run up to its highest airspeed to allow the biplane to recover quickly when launched. So that requires coordination with the airship crew.
- NohatCoder 2y agoDepends on the aircraft, some small planes are basically stall-free, as long as they have sufficient height they can recover using the speed gained by falling.
