According to ** report, on February 4, the side of the electromagnetic aircraft carrier was photographed, and it can be seen that the blocking on the ejection track has been removed, and the "carrier-based aircraft" parked at the stern of the ship has caused many speculations.
Its huge body is shocking, showing the domineering spirit of Asia's first super aircraft carrier. The hull is about 300 meters long, which is only about 10 meters shorter than the American Ford-class aircraft carrier, but it is enough to stand out from the crowd.
From the announced **, it can be seen that the shields on the electromagnetic catapult trajectory have been removed, and the "carrier-based aircraft" parked in the stern of the ship is even more eye-catching. By observing the folding length and storage angle of the main wing, many people deduce that this is a model of the J-15 fighter, and it may also be an improved version.
This type of model is not only used to test the operation of structures such as elevators, but also can be used for transportation and support training. Experts point out that this time it is not to catapult the aircraft, but to test how many carrier-based aircraft can be parked on the elevator at a time.
It is necessary to check the maximum load of the lift, and as a key piece of equipment for the dispatch of carrier-based aircraft between the flight deck and the hangar, the aircraft carrier is currently equipped with 2 elevators. For the current research and development stage, the greatest significance of this model is to verify the carrier's ability to carry and dispatch J-15 carrier-based aircraft.
From the very beginning, this aircraft carrier has been highly anticipated, especially in terms of electromagnetic technology, and has amazed the United States, and will be the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier ever built outside the United States, as well as the largest ever built in Asia.
