1, 19 10, 14, the American pilot Eugene Ely took off from the USS Birmingham CS-2, which was moored in the harbor, and flew a certain distance.

2. On May 2, 2002, 19 12, British Navy Colonel Gregory took off from the battleship Howe Bonia at a speed of 10.5 knots, thus setting a precedent for the plane to take off from the warship being sailed.

3. The first aircraft carrier with all-pass flight deck was the British Hundred Eyes Giant, which was modified from the passenger ship "Kajilin" under construction. Its transformation was completed in September of 19 18. The flight deck is168m long, and there is a hangar under the deck. There are many elevators that can lift the plane onto the deck.

4. 19 17 In July, Britain began to build the world's first "pure blood" aircraft carrier and named it "competitive god" (also translated as "Hermes") to commemorate the originator of the aircraft carrier-the world's first seaplane carrier "competitive god".

5. After World War II, all countries in the world made great efforts to develop aircraft carriers suitable for their own countries in order to safeguard their maritime interests. The aircraft carrier has entered a new stage.

On June 6, 2007, the US Navy announced that the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States was officially named USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) to commemorate former President Gerald Ford who died on the evening of February 26, 2006.

France has owned ten aircraft carriers in history. Since the late 1950s, France has entered the stage of developing its own aircraft carrier. Two clemenceau-class aircraft carriers, clemenceau and Fuxi, entered service at 196 1 and 1963 respectively.

China's first aircraft carrier, Liaoning, is the first aircraft carrier of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy that can carry fixed-wing aircraft. Its predecessor was the first-class aircraft carrier Varyag of Marshal Kuznetsov of the Soviet Navy.

Difficulties in aircraft carrier manufacturing;

1. First of all, heavy carrier aircraft flying at high speed need jet engines, and the tail flame of jet engines corrodes the deck greatly, which requires that the deck of modern aircraft carriers must be made of special steel with high temperature resistance.

Special steel needs special formula, special smelting process, precise welding process, strict quality control, sorting of various high-precision materials and strict quality control. There are two countries that can produce this special steel.

2. The length of the aircraft carrier deck is limited, so heavy carrier aircraft cannot take off and land at will. It's easier said than done. Take-off can be done by sliding jump, but landing must be done by blocking rope.

The arresting cable must be able to stop a plane weighing tens of tons without damaging the plane, and it must also ensure the reliability under repeated use. The arresting system must effectively buffer the huge kinetic energy of aircraft landing and be controlled by a complex mechanical system, which is another major problem.

Modern jet fighters need a lot of fuel and ammunition, a hangar with a large enough area to store the aircraft, and a lot of spare parts and ground crew to maintain the aircraft. To ensure the number of carrier-based aircraft, these not only occupy a lot of space and load, but also have a very modern overall planning system to manage.

More support systems and more personnel are needed, and the load of the aircraft carrier will also increase, which is a great test for the power system.
