RATO = rocket assisted take off

Explosive Catapults are devices used for launching naval shipboard airplanes. Due to the lack of space aboard ships, it is impossible to have long enough runways to properly launch planes by ordinary means. Therefore, a catapult is used to impart sufficient initial velocity to the plane to launch it properly. Formerly, such catapults were operated by compressed air, but now expls are used. One method for launching planes is to fasten on the under side of the wings of a plane some rockets and then fire them at take-off time. This is now known as RATO (rocket-assisted take-off), but was formerly known as JATO (jet-assisted take-off)... [Pg.271]
