Recently, according to relevant US media reports, related parts and components of China 003 aircraft carrier were moved to the dry dock of the shipyard for assembly, which also surprised American intelligence officers. Why does the Chinese Type 003 aircraft carrier attract so much attention from the United States?
As the second type aircraft carrier produced and developed by my country, the Type 003 aircraft carrier is quite different from 辽宁舰.
According to relevant experts, it was previously revealed that the 003 aircraft carrier will abandon the traditional Russian aircraft carrier style and adopt an all-through deck. By then, this type of aircraft carrier will be able to carry large fixed early warning aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, etc., which will significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the 003 aircraft carrier.
In addition, the issue of 机架弹器 has always been the focus of the American media. The issue of whether the 003 aircraft carrier uses a steam catapult or an electromagnetic catapult Also received their wide attention.
From the performance analysis, the steam catapult requires the aircraft carrier to heat water by itself to generate a large amount of water vapor, and then promote the take-off of the carrier aircraft. The catapult has high cost per ejection and low efficiency.
In recent years, electromagnetic catapults rely on small size and high efficiency. Moreover, it has the advantages of stable ejection performance, etc., and has increasingly become the main standard equipment for the next generation of aircraft carriers in China and the United States.
We have also made great progress in electromagnetic catapults. Previously, my country’s Professor Ma Weiming and the expected team have overcome the technical difficulties related to electromagnetic catapults. Therefore, foreign countries have also generally analyzed that my country has completely no obstacles to the electromagnetic catapults on ships.
But objectively, electromagnetic catapults are generally widely used in nuclear-powered aircraft carriers due to their huge energy consumption. Previously, the electromagnetic catapult used in the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States also had a lot of problems, which have not been solved so far.
According to earlier disclosures, the 003 aircraft carrier will still use traditional power, and whether traditional power can drive the normal operation of the electromagnetic catapult with high power consumption has also become a common concern.
For a long time, China’s weapons and equipment development has always been known for its stability. Although the electromagnetic catapult has been researched and developed with great efforts in China, can it be used? The Type 003 aircraft carrier is not yet known.
So, what do you think about whether my country's 003 aircraft carrier is still in electronic bomb design?
