Catapult + Ski-ramp Carrier Aircraft launch system?

[KamenRiderBlade]

Has anybody ever tried to combine Catapult + Ski-ramp launch system into 1 system to launch airplanes that way?

I've googled and found no relevant answers.


Is it possible?

Would there be major benefits to this system?

I think I've seen that mentioned before, though I don't think I've seen much consistency on it. It's probably technically difficult to engineer a catapult on a curve, and a catapult in front of a curve is likely wasting a lot of precious space. There may be differences between the aerodynamics of CATOBAR and STOVL aircraft that make a ramp useful for the latter but not the former.
