WRAITH Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Which aircraft carrier design do you find most appealing to you, be it American, Russian, British, WW1/2, 50s, etc? All of them they are all great pieces of engineering, they all have different functionality and a marvel to look at................ But to pick one I do like the LHD's for the RAAF F-35 pathway plans....... http://australianaviation.com.au/2014/05/johnston-raises-possibility-of-acquiring-f-35bs/ Take no notice of fake news LoL ............... and of course the CVN Nimtz Class the "BIG BOAT" - Rule by Power and Sheer Size - :thumbup: Edited May 6, 2017 by WRAITH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emu Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 All of them they are all great pieces of engineering, they all have different functionality and a marvel to look at................ I look at the French and Brazilian carriers and then I look at the Chinese and Russian carriers and think that maybe the UK's carrier can carry more than 40 aircraft.

joey45 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Well the Brazilian one is the Ex French Carrier Foch. for which I have plans of Our new ones can hold more when need be. Edited May 6, 2017 by joey45 was right the first time The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The_Tau Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Dem Brits, its carrier almost twice as big as French but same amount of planes, someone screw up? Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal compliment is 40 aircraft, but has the capacity for 70+. As a rough rule of thumb you need 1000 tonnes of displacement for every aircraft carried. The Charles De Gaulle deployed to Syria with an air group of 30, the CDG has a hanger area of 4200 sq M where as the QE2 has an area of 5115 sq M.

SkateZilla Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 CHina's carriers are: Bought Old Kunetzcov stripped and towed to CHN from Ukraine Built By reverse engineering their Purchases Kunetzcov. China is doing what they did with the Flankers. License/Buy The First Wave, Copy and Build w/ Cheaper components and re-designate after that. Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's not Nuclear powered.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Emu Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Agreed. I think the French have listed the maximum possible number and the UK have listed the actual number of fighters that will be carried along with SAR, AEW, air-lifting, ASW etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
