…And I don't exactly know why the roof opens on take-off ad landing....
@Chap - The F35 opens the flap on the top of the fuselage, behind the cockpit, as it is where the fan is located. This fan is used for short take-off and vertical landing, STOVL, which is a requirement when taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier.

You have been a fighter jet pilot @den1mhead as far as I remember, right?

@Chap I'd like to bask in the glory of fighter pilots but when I went for RAF selection, back in 1991, "Options For Change" was wreaking havoc in the military and there weren't any pilot slots available that year. I was fortunate enough to get one of only two fast jet navigator slots, on the Tornado F3 (fighter) and Tornado GR1 & GR4 (bomber).
edit; the Tornado has now been retired

Oh cool, nevertheless you've been part of a fighter jet crew. Amazing. Must be a great experience…
Had some laps in a Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport Race Taxi with a professional driver at Spielberg Ring this year
that was speed-up enough for me... almost puked me ::) -

That is to say, carrier take off requires a V/STOL-capable plane or a catapult. At this time, the vast majority of aircraft launched airplanes are not V/STOL.
