1 anti-submarine squadron, aircraft MH-60R, number 11 aircraft;

1 detachment of transport aircraft, type C-2A CV-22, the number of which is 2-3 units.

Follow-up carrier-based UAVs 4-6 units.

A total of 82 aircraft.

Carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers take off using catapults. The catapult is generally composed of a power system, a reciprocating vehicle, a guide slide, etc. When catapulting takes off, the pilot controls the aircraft to release the brakes, increase the power, and under the strong action of the catapult power system, the reciprocator pulls the tow rope hanging on the aircraft, accelerates along the guide slide, and reaches the take-off speed after a sliding distance of 50 95 meters.

When the aircraft is lifted off the deck, the tow line is decoupled from the reciprocating vehicle and the aircraft, and falls into the ** corner net pocket at the front of the flight deck. The reloading system then tows the reciprocator back to its original position, ready to eject again. The towing cable has been eliminated in modern catapults, and the reciprocating vehicle is directly connected to the nose landing gear of the carrier-based aircraft through a tow bar.

Flyers and fixed-wing aircraft that can take off and land vertically (such as the Harrier Sea) are relatively simple to take off, just fly upwards.

Fixed-wing aircraft require a certain muzzle velocity for take-off, so they need a runway. At present, there are two commonly used methods on aircraft carriers: one is a sliding jump take-off, with a long runway, the front part is raised into the air, and the aircraft accelerates by itself to obtain take-off speed, which is the case with the Liaoning; The other is catapult take-off, which instantly makes the aircraft reach take-off speed like an arrow through a catapult device, and the runway is short and flat, such as the Nimitz of the United States.

At present, it seems that only the United States has mastered the ejection technology, and it uses a steam catapult device, and is studying electromagnetic catapult. China's future aircraft carriers are estimated to use the catapult type, and it is likely to be electromagnetic! Applaud.

As for the treadmill you mentioned, you can understand whether it is feasible after reading the above.

The main combat capability of an aircraft carrier comes from the carrier-based aircraft it carries. The overall combat capability and combat performance of carrier-based aircraft to some extent determine the combat capability of the aircraft carrier. However, of course, the types and quantities of carrier-based aircraft that can be carried by different types of aircraft carriers are also different.

VTOL.

Glide jump take-off and landing. Catapult take-off and landing (steam catapult) (electronic catapult).

The standard configuration is generally about 80 aircraft, but the number is not completely fixed, depending on the task.

Carrier-based aircraft: about 80 fixed-wing aircraft.

Anti-submarine aircraft: 10 S-3A pirate anti-submarine aircraft.

Special aircraft: 5 EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft, 5 E-2C Hawkeye AWACS aircraft ***: 8 SH-3G H Sea King ***.

There are a total of 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. There is a slight discrepancy in the number of carrier-based aircraft. It is said that up to 20 and 30 spare aircraft can be added. That is, it can carry up to 120 aircraft, or even 140 aircraft.

There are currently 9 ships in service and 1 under construction, and it is the backbone of the US Navy's active aircraft carriers.

The nine ships are: USS Nimitz (CVN68), Dwight? d??

USS Eisenhower (CVN69), "Carl? USS Vincennes (CVN70), Theodore? USS Roosevelt (CVN71), "Abraham?

USS Lincoln (CVN72), "George? USS Washington (CVN73), "John? c??

USS Stennis (CVN74), "Harris? s??USS Truman (CVN75), Ronald ??

USS Reagan (CVN76).

In addition, the construction of the 10th ship, the USS Bush (CVN77), began as early as 2001, and some of the bows have been assembled together, and the overall project is about 30% complete. It will be the last Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the US Navy.

It has not yet been determined, some people say J-15, some people say J-31 At present, the probability of 15 is high, after all, 31 is a new model, the cost is high, and the combat effectiveness has not been determined for the time being.

With the J-15 carrier-based aircraft on the Internet, China is likely to independently develop its own carrier-based aircraft, but refer to or imitate some foreign advanced technologies, which is also the basic pace of China's current military equipment construction. At present, China's Shenfei is stepping up the commissioning and completion of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft test, and the first flight in August 2009, it is expected that it will take a few years to finalize, and the first batch of mass-produced J-15 will not be earlier than 2015. According to some analysts, the J-15 was developed on the basis of the Su-33 prototype T-10K-3 purchased from Ukraine in 2005.

On February 9, 2011, the Russian military-industrial complex** reported that China has now built a prototype of its first carrier-based fighter, the J-15. The aircraft is copied from the T-33K, the prototype of the Su-10 fighter in service with the Russian Naval Aviation.

I think it's an upgraded version of the J-11.

Regarding the carrier-based aircraft, the most important component of the aircraft carrier, Yin Zhuo revealed that the aircraft carrier is a completely domestic carrier-based aircraft. This kind of carrier-based aircraft is similar to some foreign carrier-based aircraft in appearance, but its first-class systems, such as radar, communications, and navigation, have been completely localized, and even the degree of informatization is higher than that of foreign carrier-based aircraft, and the combat radius is very large.

Regarding the model of carrier-based aircraft, Yin Zhuo and Li Jie are more inclined to "J-15". Regarding the "J-31" rumored on the Internet recently, Li Jie believes that this type of model has not yet reached a mature enough level, and it is unlikely that it will become a carrier-based aircraft of the Liaoning ship.

Judging from the officially released information, the avionics and ** level of the J-15 are roughly close to the level of the F18C D, and the air combat capability can be more optimized. At this level, coupled with the current number of 24 carrier aircraft of the Liaoning, it can meet the 24-hour and four-plane duty operation of the aircraft carrier fleet, but it is much harder than the US aircraft carrier formation. Due to the lack of catapults, the sortie rate and payload in wartime are relatively low, but they can basically meet the low-intensity air interception mission.

Regrettably, during the Cold War, the former Soviet Union used aircraft carriers to build an air defense interception network with carrier-based aircraft and escort ships, and heavy missile cruisers and nuclear-powered submarines as a means of force projection. That is, the carrier-based aircraft of the former USSR basically did not undertake anti-ship and ground-to-ground tasks, and all attack projects were given to cruisers, submarines and long-range bombers. Chinese aircraft carriers have also inherited this tactic due to their innate small number of aircraft carrying capacity and lack of catapult capability, while China's aircraft carrier formations lack as powerful saturation attack capabilities as cruisers, submarines, bombers, etc., the 052D, although very good, is neither as good as the missile cruisers of the former Soviet Union, nor as good as Arleigh Burke, and it is impossible to compare with Zumwalt.

Therefore, although the interception capability has been improved a lot, the offensive effectiveness is even worse than that of the aircraft carrier formation of the former Soviet Navy. From this point of view, China's aircraft carrier formation can only be used as a means to improve the performance and scope of air defense in the theater for the time being, and it is not yet able to undertake more in-depth strike missions.

The U.S. military, the strongest in combat effectiveness, stronger than other countries combined, represents the model F-35

American, F35 and F A18 and various variants, as well as Hawkeye or something AWACS aircraft.

The most suitable is the J-11B, and Russia is the Su-33, which has been changed almost.
