I think what China needs is more helicopter and other vertical transport capability. Maybe something like a tiltrotor.
Please make that a tiltjet like the one in Oblivion movie.I think what China needs is more helicopter and other vertical transport capability. Maybe something like a tiltrotor.
What are those two other ships? 054s?A satellite update.

A satellite update.
Looks like sure thing the arresting cable is right in the middle!
Total width 45m, landing stripe with safe margin = 25m, 10m parking lot on each side.
My theory is that while angled deck needs a 30m landing stripe, stright deck only need 25m, beacuse it is easier to land.
10m vertical is enough for the drone's max body length of 12-13m.
high-speed drone/plane max wingspan cap at 15m, 5m margin on each side. ( Chengdu multi-role, J35?,GJ-11 )
low-speed drone max wingspan cap at 17m, 4m margin on each side. (Wing Loong 10 & 3 carrier verion)
No angled deck on British carriers. Simply wide enough flight deck for "smooth fixed wing uav operation".
