How many simultaneous take off and landing (recover) USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can handle at normal (not tilting in heavy seas)?

One. The Bush has four catapults but they only launch one plane at a time. One launch every few seconds. Likewise they land only one plane at a time. They don't conduct landings while they are launching and vice-versa.

I didn’t ask Nimitz class, I was asking the newest Ford class, hello?
