Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

Hey, Planeman. You said your landing strip is also a STOBAR take off right?

I think that might be a problem. Having it would help slow an aircraft down on a successful landing, but what if the plane flies too fast or is descending too slowly? It would have to power up and repeat.

My concern is, I can't imagine having to power up in that short space and avoid the new obstacle!

Anyway, starting new naval fighter design thread.

a monohull version along a similar theme to my previous one. Both landing and take-off runs have ski-jumps which also house the cruise missile launchers (YJ-62 LACMs).

Really cool concept, but just one quick question:
Why would you put land attack or anti ship cruise missiles on your carrier? You would get more flexibility with just storing extra ALCMs for your aircraft.
If you try to pile to many "nice to have" weapon systems, you are using space that could have been used to support air ops

just my five cents

Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread

I have never design anything, so I know this is going to get bashed. Used your idea of dual jumps. All I wanted to add was helicopter pads on the sides with ramps. Also I put the jumps going around and above the tower. I know I shouldn't add cause I don't have any experience but this looks like fun and it was fun.

Pretty cool idea though a bit dangerous I'd expect given that the helicopters might suck personel and other non-attached items off the flight deck into their rotors.
