I would never wish to discourage research but your news article, 'Landing a new role in power generation' (The Engineer, 8 March), got me thinking. I find it difficult to believe that the effort and technology involved with such a scheme could possibly be effective.rnThe paraphernalia necessary to 'catch' landing aircraft would surely consume more power than the measly 750kW the project hopes to recover, not to mention the expense in terms of world resources just to build the hardware in the first place.
