It's a shame that it's diesel. It still runs on steam turbines. Don't know why the boilers burn diesel though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
They are launching without a cat. Instead they have those chocks that collapse into the deck rapidly, and the jet is in full afterburner, so when it hits that ramp it gets flung into the air a bit. Also the ship is hauling ass into the wind, so all that equals a successful launch without a cat. I wouldn't say its a better design, just suited to their purposes and aircraft designs. It also eliminates a complicated piece of machinery and the associated personnel. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Why is the flight deck curved, and is that a better design than U.S. made carriers? They are launching without a cat. Instead they have those chocks that collapse into the deck rapidly, and the jet is in full afterburner, so when it hits that ramp it gets flung into the air a bit. Also the ship is hauling ass into the wind, so all that equals a successful launch without a cat. I wouldn't say its a better design, just suited to their purposes and aircraft designs. It also eliminates a complicated piece of machinery and the associated personnel. And fixes some MASSIVE design problems of piping high pressure steam from the boilers to the flight deck. |
