<p>Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing (SRVL) is a unique technique which is being
specifically developed for operations on board the Queen Elizabeth Class Carrier.
Trials are under way to develop this technique, which is at an early stage of development,
these trials have suggested that SRVL can be executed at acceptable levels of risk
when required. SRVL will be used at the extremes of climatic temperatures and air
pressures only when the aircraft is carrying heavy weapon loads and the Ministry of
Defence has previously undertaken flight trials using a Harrier aircraft on a French
carrier to demonstrate proof of concept. Simulator trials are continuing. Final flight
trials will not be conducted until 2019.</p><p> </p>
