[Beast]

Watch out for 1st of October which is also National Day for PRC. Something spectacular about carrier aviation will be unveiled to the world on that day.

Perfect. Needs testing in live situations. Send it to the syrian coast

I like the sky jump paint. Makes me think of riding on my bike and jumping into the sea.

Me too.

Actually they will not make similar ones, they are researching for better ACC than this one. CATOBAR or EMALS, nuclear powered and more tonnage than this one. I expect 2 ACC by 2020 with advanced technologies.

Thats true.

From what I have heard on Chinese language defence froums.

1. One 80,000 ton carrier build in the North with two steam CATs and ramp, it will have three elevators and much smaller island this is gonna be a huge improvement over the Varyag.

2. One 85,000 ton carrier build in the South, Shanghai. It will be very similar to the Kitty Hawk, with four steam CATs no ramp.

Both deliver around 2018 or 2019.

Expert: China's aircraft carrier may use upgraded version of J-11 fighters

China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, is over 300 meters long and over 70 meters wide. The distance from the keel to the top of the mainmast is over 60 meters. There are 10 decks below the main deck, and nine levels of island-style superstructures above the main deck, making the aircraft carrier look like a 20-story building. The Liaoning has a normal displacement of more than 50,000 tons.

Aircraft carriers top all other types of large ships in tonnage, size, and operational capability, and are hailed as "floating airports." The island-style superstructures at the starboard side of an aircraft carrier are the command center for flight-deck operations, as well as the ship as a whole.

Modern carrier-based aircraft take off in mainly three ways: catapult assisted takeoff, ski-jump takeoff, and vertical takeoff. The Liaoning can carry fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters as designed.

Although there are no carrier-based aircraft on the flight deck of the Liaoning, the aircraft carrier is fully equipped for aircraft takeoff and landing.

There has been a lot of speculation about the aircraft, which will be deployed on the Liaoning. Military expert Yin Zhuo said in an interview with the CCTV that the type of the carrier-based aircraft has already been determined. It will take off from a ski-jump runway. It is a heavy-duty aircraft, and has an operational capability comparable to that of the Jian-11BS and Su-30 fighter aircraft.

Du Wenlong, a researcher at the PLA Academy of Military Sciences, said the aircraft deployed on China's first aircraft carrier must be an upgraded version of domestic J-11 fighters.

The Liaoning has been spotted of leaving the port in Dalian few hours ago. No official words on where is it going nor the purposes of leaving the port.

This photo is from the grapevines.
