So they can stop quicker. On STOBAR and CATOBAR carriers, the aircraft are stopped by arrestor cables (hence the BAR (But Arrested Recovery)), caught by the tailhooks. On STOBAR Carriers, the aircraft do a short takeoff, whereas on CATOBAR Carriers, the aircraft are launched by catapults. On another type of carrier, STOL Carriers, the aircraft does a short or vertical takeoff and landing, so are only available to aircraft such as helicopters, the F-35B, the Harrier, Yak-141, Yak-38, among others. @Swiftsure
