The list of aircraft carriers by configuration contains active aircraft carriers organized by the specific configuration of aircraft carrier designs. This list excludes seaplane carriers or helicopter carriers .
The Model 31 was a new flying boat design started in 1938, intended for both military and commercial use. The aircraft was of all-metal construction with a high-mounted, high aspect ratio cantilever monoplane wing (the Davis wing, which was later used in the B-24 Liberator) [1] and an upswept aft fuselage with a tail unit with twin endplate fins and rudders.
The design of the 747-AAC had space for a crew of 44. The aircraft was designed to carry 10 Boeing Model 985-121 "microfighters" with the ability to launch, retrieve, re-arm and refuel. In the blueprints there is a hangar at the top of fuselage where the cabin would be for an airliner, the hangar holds the microfighters.
Aircraft carrier designs have increased in size to accommodate continuous increase in aircraft size. The 1950s saw US Navy's commission of "supercarriers", designed to operate naval jets, which offered better performance at the expense of bigger size and demanded more ordnance to be carried on-board (fuel, spare parts, electronics, etc.).
Conceptual design of Project Habakkuk aircraft carrier with 600-metre (1,969 ft) runway. Project Habakkuk or Habbakuk (spelling varies) was a plan by the British during the Second World War to construct an aircraft carrier out of pykrete, a mixture of wood pulp and ice, for use against German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic, which were beyond the flight range of land-based planes at that time.
Original "Priboy" design model. Initially, the "Priboy" and "Lavina" helicopter carrier designs were first revealed in June 2015 during the "ARMY-2015" military-technical forum, as a replacement for the two undelivered Mistral-class vessels ordered by Russia in 2011 under a $1.3 billion contract.
A battlecarrier is a large, often hypothetical, hybrid naval ship designed to combine aspects of both an aircraft carrier and either a battleship or battlecruiser. This term is primarily used to refer to the following: the American Midway-class aircraft carrier; the Soviet Kiev-class aircraft carrier
The SCSs were smaller than most fleet aircraft carriers, and the concept was adopted by two countries wanting inexpensive aircraft carriers. Spain's Príncipe de Asturias , and her smaller cousin ship, Thailand's HTMS Chakri Naruebet , were based on the final US Navy blueprints for a dedicated sea control ship, but with the addition of a ski ...
