Type 075 Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) News & Discussions

But how can it circumvent STOVL with UCAV?
I still don't get it, unless they put some J-35 onboard or maybe they are developing Next Gen UCAV?
They say it will have EMALS so it won't need STOVL.
Again if it has catapults it will launch all kinds of aircraft manned and unmanned, why the F do so many people keep on saying that it is just for drones!

As a LHA, it may don't have a sufficiently large storage/dock to keep manned fighters in, they have their priority through.

Dude wtf are you talking about, not enough space? It is no less than 45k tons, if the America class has enough space why shouldn't an equally sized (or perhaps even larger) CVL not have enough space! It has enough space guaranteed 100% period.

Various drones, there is photos of sat image showing EMALS launching drone in land test site.
also, I think if this project does exist then it means China has matured in this tech and thus not a big deal as many people think it would be.

we don't have a working stovl fighter and our marine doctrine is totally different with yankees.
 
We have now a dedicated thread for the rumoured Type 076

I don't think you quite understood my point, yeah I get it that it will use EMALS (if the ship exists) , what I was talking about is how some idiots on CJDBY keep on calling it "drone mothership" , it's not a "drone mothership" if even some puny ski jump can launch heavy aircrafts like the Flankers (even if with reduced payload) then why the F the superior catapults wouldn't be able to launch them! The answer is the Type 076 will able to launch the same kind of aircrafts launched by Type 003, whether it's J-31 or any other aircraft, it will just carry them in much smaller numbers (eg: 6 J-31, 18 helis, 6 drones).

except a document and a few words from the big shirmps,it's still in the fog so ofc people will have problem of understanding it's purpose, just another project to be on our list.

I think, of course it can launch J-35.
But it will be effective to have some J-35 instead dozens of UCAV? That's the point of this discussion

It can have both of them at the same time , so it doesn't have to chose , equipping the CVL with arresting wires and catapults will increase it's price by several hundreds of millions of dollars , then the price will increase due to the enlargement and modifications of the flight deck, does any one really think china will increase the price this much and not put stealth fighters in it!
