Would a giant carrier let aircraft take off like a land runway?

Would the enlarged Queen Elizabeth carrier be big enough for aircraft to take off and land normally without catapults?

The answer is no: the proposed hull remains far shorter than the 7,000-8,000-foot runways cited for land operations.

A follow-up asks whether the proposed carrier is so large that aircraft could simply take off and land normally. Its 1,232-foot length is still much shorter than the roughly 7,000-8,000-foot runways cited for land operations. The answer therefore retains the need for carrier launch and recovery arrangements. Enlarging a flight deck does not by itself give it the runway length associated with an airfield.
