What's new

China's Type 003 aircraft carrier starts to take shape

.
Who knows?
PLAN CV-03 may also be powered by China own domestic developed RO110 heavy-duty gas turbine.

Developed in 2004, today this engine has been fully tested and even installed into civilian ships. It is proven to be fast and runs reliably.

The estimated output power of the R0110 gas turbine is 114500 kilowatts.

2 of these is approx 230,000 kilowatts which will drive the CV-03 exceeding 30 knots.

Beside power density, the RO110 being gas turbine has does not have any mechanical noise hence not so easily detected by enemy warships. :coffee:

Actually steam turbine produced more hp in some case than nuclear. Check out USS kitty hawk. Don't have the idea if it's non nuclear , the power will have deficiency problem.

The only advantage nuclear has over conventional is non refuelling,

Charles de Gaulle is a great example nuclear means nothing. Which is precisely I bring this up. It can never power a electric catapult with that nuclear power plant. It even has problem going at 25 knots and u think it will have enough power for electric catapult?

If China can land Rover on Mars. Surely, everything for the new aircraft carrier 2021 is well thought in all department including power output and full steam speed, high intense operation. The worry is overdone.

The worry shall be on USS Gerald Ford. This aircraft carrier brag as if some alien technology which until now still non combat ready. After more than 4 years commissioned.

Maybe the reason why China goes steam turbine for this new electric catapult aircraft carrier.
Gas turbine. Boilers that can power this carrier doesn't exist.
my question was specifically in the context of the magnetic catapults. A huge carrier can slowly lunger its way to 25 knots over time, that's fine and dandy...but to launch two fully armed and loaded J-15s at take off speeds in a matter of a few dozen feet would require an immense burst of power...that's why I was wondering if it was capable of producing that kind of power.
Gas turbines have very high weight to power ratios. On par with nuclear reactors

100,000 Tonnes Diplomacy :enjoy:
 
. .
no enough. We need 100,000 tonnes diplomacy *20. Think we can achieve it within the next 15 years. Not too difficult considering our shipbuilding industry capacity and the very humble military spending today (only 1.2% of the GDP).

1.2% GDP is not enough. Need 3%

More like 10 CV and 1000+ new ICBMs, which are far and away more cost-efficient.

Even that’s not enough

Need 180-100,000 tonnes diplomacy 1 for each country . Loaded each with 200 fighter Jets . Accompanied by 360 (why not full circle) submarines - 2 with each 100,000 diplomacy

And around 22 million ICBM . Atleast 1 silo every meter all around the border. And To top of it off atleast atleast 7 billion satellites 1 for each person. I think better should be 2 person but I think we’ll reach that milestones once we hit 3% of GDP

I m so anxious -- waiting for the day that
the PLAN carriers are sailing up and down the
California and Florida coasts

and displaying our PLAN muscles in the
world--Famous--Cowards--Murican backyard.

We be happy to welcome them close to our shores, just like China does. As you Chinese posters said, the closer the better.
