The deck of Fujian ship ushered in the launch of shipborne aircraft, the world's first five generation aircraft electromagnetic ejection, or was it completed by China?

The first domestic electromagnetic catapult super aircraft carrier "Fujian Ship" carrying people's ardent expectations has always received close attention from all walks of life, and every subtle change of this 80000 ton ship will attract people's continuous hot debate. Now, just after the completion of the second sea trial for 20 days, the "Fujian Ship" has brought a new surprise and shock to the world, which once again proves that the speed of delivery and combat effectiveness generation of this aircraft carrier may be much earlier than many people guess.

Domestic electromagnetic ejection aircraft carrier "Fujian Ship"

According to a photo taken from the rear of the "Fujian Ship" from the domestic social media, the mast of the "Fujian Ship" returned to the docks of the shipyard was "quite dark", which of course could not be "exposed to the sun", but was blackened by smoke from the chimney of the main engine integrated with the mast of the ship island during the second sea trial, which was long and intense, It shows how much the ship has successfully withstood the test in this sea trial. What's more surprising is that the carrier plane finally appeared on the flight deck of this aircraft carrier, and there were three different models at once 。

There is a plane with "plate" on the deck of "Fujian Ship"

Through careful identification of the photos, we can clearly see that a J-15 heavy carrier based fighter plane is placed behind the island, and its main wing is folded up. At the position close to the oblique angle deck of the aircraft carrier, there is a J-35 stealth carrier aircraft whose nose points to the front of the oblique angle deck and tail points to the stern of the aircraft carrier. The V-shaped outward inclined double vertical tail of the aircraft is clearly visible. In the middle or forward position of the flight deck, there is also a model whose fuselage is wrapped with dark green waterproof cloth, but the upper part is covered with a white "plate" object. It can be basically determined that this is a shipborne early warning aircraft with wings folded backward on both sides, namely, Air Policy-600 。 Although the three aircraft models appearing on the flight deck of the "Fujian Ship" are not real aircraft, but full-size models, we cannot rule out the possibility that "this is a real available fighter".

So, in the next round of sea trial work of this domestic aircraft carrier, will there be the subject of launching and landing carrier based aircraft? I'm afraid the probability is not zero. Generally speaking, if the aircraft carrier carries a full-size model of the carrier aircraft during the sea trial, it will generally carry out such subjects as the mooring test of the carrier aircraft position, the scheduling test of the carrier aircraft deck, the lift test of the carrier aircraft, and the scheduling test of the carrier aircraft hangar. If it is a real aircraft, when the above tests are completed, the ammunition lift test, the docking test between the carrier aircraft and the aircraft carrier deck refueling equipment, the lifting test of the aircraft carrier flame shield, and the launch and landing test of the carrier aircraft may also be carried out 。

In the link of launching and landing test, it can be divided into more than ten sub subjects, such as the crucial electromagnetic catapult operation test, aircraft carrier arresting rope test, communication effect test between landing controller and carrier aircraft, aircraft carrier landing aid system test, etc. If the "Fujian Ship" can go to sea in the third sea trial by carrying real aircraft, the test progress and test subjects to be completed of the ship will undoubtedly be extremely expected 。

At present, five Nimitz class aircraft carriers can use F-35C

Someone may have overlooked one thing, That is, the US "Ford" nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the first electromagnetic ejection aircraft carrier in mankind, has not yet been able to fly the most advanced carrier aircraft F-35C in active service of the US Navy. The reason is that the design and development time of these two new equipment is inconsistent, and their respective technical teams lack sufficient communication, which leads to problems in matching 。 At present, there are five U.S. aircraft carriers that have been modified and can use F-35C stealth carrier aircraft, namely, the Nimitz, Eisenhower, Washington, Lincoln and Carl Vincent. They are all the products of the previous generation of the Ford class, that is, the Nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carriers using steam catapults, However, the latest electromagnetic ejection aircraft carrier "Ford" has no ability to fly F-35C.

This scene may be coming true

According to the plan of the US Navy for fiscal year 2024, the "Ford" is expected to be integrated with the F-35C by 2025 after a large number of technical modifications and improvements. In this way, the "Fujian Ship" may be able to become the "first aircraft carrier in the world to launch five generations of aircraft with electromagnetic catapults" by ejecting the J-35 stealth fighter before the "Ford". The significance of this world record cannot be underestimated 。 Well, although the United States has become the "first country to eat crab" in the field of electromagnetic ejection aircraft carriers, China may actually win the first place in the world in the form of curve overtaking in the field of "electromagnetic ejection aircraft carriers+five generation aircraft". Let's look forward to the next sea trial of "Fujian Ship".
