Ones with tail hooks so they can stop. The biggest plane to ever land on a US aircraft carrier was a C-130, which the Navy was considering for Carrier Onboard Delivery service.

How many fighter jets can fit on an aircraft carrier?
there are many diffrent kinds of carriers, a super carrier can hold 113 aircraft
Where do jets land?
Jet-powered aircraft land on the same airports as piston-engine aircraft.
Who can land on a aircraft carrier at night?
Pilots that are flying naval aircraft.
Could the space shuttle land on an aircraft carrier?
The space shuttle would not be able to land on an Aircraft carrier. It needs a lot longer runway.
Can a C 17 glogmaster land on an aircraft carrier?
No, the C-17 air transport aircraft is much too heavy & large to land on an Aircraft Carrier. Or for that matter take-off again.
Was the Battle of Midway fought on land or sea?
The Battle of Midway was fought entirely at sea by aircraft from Japan's aircraft carrier forces, the United States Navy aircraft carrier forces, and land-based aircraft from Midway.
How many aircraft does American aircraft carrier carries?
between 50-90 it varies on what mission weather they need fighter jets or helicopters.
What would happen if a pair of F-22 jets collided on an aircraft carrier?
There is no navalised version of the F22 Raptor and it is not capable of landing on an aircraft carrier (apparently it's landing speed is to high). As such this would never happen! During the Vietnam War, crashed jets were pushed over the side.
Are jets aircraft?
Aircraft that can break the sound barrier, yes they are jets. Aircraft are jets if they are powered by jet engines, as opposed to piston engines which have propellers.
How many planes can launch off an aircraft carrier per second?
The average aircraft carrier, in the United States Navy, can put a jet into the air every 15 seconds. The Jets need to have some time between their takeoffs for safety.
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
Can aircraft takeoff and land on a non-moving carrier?
It would be difficult to have enough air speed. However, if there is enough of a wind blowing across the carrier deck, it would be possible. Aircraft carriers are actually some of the fastest ships the navy has, to allow the creation of the necessary speeds. If the jets are VSTOL, such as the Harrier, there is no motion necessary at all, they can be launched off any flat service.
