The mobile aircraft launcher also includes an aircraft-engaging shuttle mounted on the launch beam for movement along the length of the launch beam. The mobile aircraft launcher also includes a shuttle-moving drive arrangement mounted o n the trailer and at least one jack secured to the trailer. The jack is adjustable between a) a first adjustment condition, in which the jack suppor ts the launch beam in a horizontal attitude to facilitate the movement of the launch beam between its folded, transport condition and its launch condition , and b) a second adjustment condition, in which the jack supports the launch beam in an inclined position for launch.
