"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds."
Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.

Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What would happen if a pair of F-22 jets collided on an aircraft carrier?
There is no navalised version of the F22 Raptor and it is not capable of landing on an aircraft carrier (apparently it's landing speed is to high). As such this would never happen! During the Vietnam War, crashed jets were pushed over the side.
Max speed of FA 18 landing on a aircraft carrier?
There really isn't a max speed of an F/A-18 landing on an aircraft carrier because: (skip to the bottom for the general and quick answer which is just a guess) 1) If the aircraft was going too fast, the tail hook would break upon hooking onto the wires 2) If the aircraft was going too fast, the wires the plane uses to stop would snap when the tail hook hooked them at a high speed 3)If the aircraft was flying over a speed of 240 knots (nautical miles per hour) the planes landing gear and flaps would automtically retract 4) The perfered speed to land (or the speed you should be traveling if you are doing everything right) should be 135 knots 5)If you were going too fast, the Landing Signal Officer (or LSO) would tell you to wave off (or abort the current landing pattern and realign for a new landing) So if there had to be a max speed to land on a carrier I'd say it would probably be about 150-160 knots
What is the landing angle of an aircraft?
Most aircraft have different landing angels dependent on weight, wing shape and stalling speed.
Is the speed of fighter plane higher than the speed of rocket?
Most rockets are much faster than fighter aircraft.
What is the proper landing speed of a huge jet?
The proper landing speed of a huge aircraft is between 250 to 300 kmph. A good landing speed is 280kmph. Over speed in the landing then you may not be able to stop the plane in time.
What is the landing approach speed for a 132000 lb aircraft?
144 KIAS
If a fighter is landing on an aircraft carrier's flight deck that has a length of 300 m must reduce its speed from 153 km to exactly 0 km in 2 s what is the jet's acceleration?
153 km/h is 42.5 m/s. If the deceleration takes 2 seconds, then the deceleration is 21.25 m/s2. (This is about 2.2 gees)
What function do the wing play when an aeroplane is landing?
The wings give the aircraft 'lift' especially when it is at a slower speed such as landing
Can an aircraft carrier go 100 knots?
No, an aircraft carrier cannot go 100 knots. The top speed of an aircraft carrier is typically around 30-35 knots, which is fast for a ship of its size but much slower than 100 knots.
At what speed does a fighter jet get airborne?
That depends on which aircraft and how much load it's carrying.
For a fighter jet to take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier it must reach a speed of 62ms What is the calculated speed in miles per hour?
The calculated speed of 62 m/s is equivalent to approximately 139 miles per hour.
