Could Sea Harrier FRS1 safely land vertically with two unused Sea
Eagles attached in hot weather condition?
Your question evokes the immediate response ... insufficient data.
Read the ODM ... (Operating Data Manuals)
The manual consisted of lots of charts and a 'data point' can be
extracted
by 'entering' one chart with a condition (say weight) against 'day' (ISA
+ n
deg) then perhaps taking that datapoint onto another chart reading off
height (above mean sea level) which might give you an answer to your
question.
Of hand; - two minutes after take-off from Nairobi in mid-summer... ?
whereas after a two hour sortie from the Falklands in mid-winter ... ?
Context, as they say, is everything.

OK, could Sea Harrier FRS1 safely land vertically on the Invincible
class carrier in the South China Sea in mid-summer with two unused Sea
Eagles after a two-hour mission?
Was there any case the FRS1 had to jettison unused Sea Eagles before
landing on the carrier?
Sorry, but you would have to read the ODM. If you don't have access to the
data you probably aren't authorised to have it. [its tough, but it's life]
..If you have a legitimate need-to-know; try posing the question to the
manufacturer's marketing department.
