Catamaran aircraft carrier concept. Usually they are somewhat small designs which is why I decided to go for something big. The point of a catamaran is to reduce the waterplane area which generally results in less displacement. Advantages I can see would be almost unlimited width very stable and high speed.

It is a geometry-stabilized craft deriving its stability from its wide beam rather than from a ballasted keel as with a monohull boat. The drawings of the Russian catamaran carrier Ive seen show two narrow straight flight decks parallel to each other. A Catamaran aircraft carrier 3D concept Image.

The catamaran can race on the surface in order to catch and launch aircrafts and submerged at. Future Aircraft Carrier Thread.

Less buoyancyless load capacityless stuff onboardless capability Planes despite being light are fairly heavy when you carry all their stuff cats fuel supplies engines munitions et cetera. It has a wide deck which is important for an aircraft carrier. As weight must equal buoyancy.

The design adds flight deck. Now assume top 2m and bottom 2m are allocated to structual beams piping services etc that leaves 18m of height. Published Oct 02 2018 A model of a future conventionally-powered aircraft carrier was presented for the first time at Russias Army-2018 forum at the end.
