What are the parts of a aircraft carrier of World War 2?
A World War II aircraft carrier typically consisted of several key parts: the flight deck, which served as the primary surface for launching and landing aircraft; the hangar deck, used for storing and maintaining aircraft; and the island, a structure on the flight deck that housed the bridge, control tower, and radar facilities. Additionally, there were various compartments for crew quarters, munitions storage, and engineering spaces. These components worked together to enable the carrier to project air power at sea.
Can you survive jumping off deck of aircraft carrier?
No
Who invented the aircraft carrier?
The aircraft carrier was preceded by the balloon barges of the US Civil War, and the first aircraft carriers were seaplane tenders that did not launch or recover planes aboard the ship. This included the French "Foudre" in 1911. The HMS Ark Royal (1914) was a seaplane carrier that experimented with shipboard launches and recovery. The first US carrier was a converted coal ship, the Jupiter, which became USS Langley in 1920. The first aircraft carrier designed with a flight deck was the Japanese carrier "Hosho" (1922), followed by the commissioning of the British carrier HMS Hermes in 1924.
What is Aircraft carrier approach operations?
Approach ops (Air Ops) are the maneuvers that aircraft (attack/fighters or support) execute to get aboard the carrier (trap). Since the flight deck is not very large, the aircraft must be stopped catching a wire stretched across the deck with a sturdy hook attached to the plane. They follow a very standardized pattern around the carrier, day or night, good or bad weather, clear or no visibility. It is considered the most difficult and dangerous thing there exists in aviation.
Why does a aircart carrier need to be large?
bigger is always better... Well, yeah, but, The size of a carrier is determined by the total required length for the flight deck to be able to simultaneously launch aircraft from the front and recover (land) planes at the rear. The take-off length is determined by the amount of distance required for the heaviest plane to reach minimum air speed over the wings to become airborne ("stall speed"). This distance is a product of the speed the plane can reach at max power aided by the launch catapult in the deck, plus the ship's speed at full speed while being steered into the wind for maximum advantage. Obviously, the takeoff runway length can't be changed once the ship is built, so that distance then becomes a requirement for any prospective aircraft to meet in order to be accepted for carrier use. While planes are waiting to take off, others may be landing at the rear of the flight deck. The only way to stop carrier planes when they land is by use of the arresting gear, a large steel hook that drops from the rear of the plane that catches one of 5 thick steel cables run across the rear of the landing area. If the pilot fails to hook one of these cables, he must take off again, circle the ship, and try landing again. Since the plane must be able to fly off without the help of the catapult, all carrier planes must come in for a landing at full power - just in case. Carrier landings have been referred to as "controlled crashes" because of the way the planes are slammed onto the deck and violently stopped by the arresting gear, and aircraft intended for carrier use are designed and built tougher than a plane would be for land based use.
Is flight deck an aircraft carrier?
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
How high is an aircraft carrier flight deck from the water?
About 80 feet.
What is average distance between aircraft carrier flight deck and water?
60 feet
How tall is the flight deck of an aircraft carrier off the water?
approximately 60 feet
What is the upper part of an aircraft carrier called?
The flight deck...
Length of flight deck quadalcanal aircraft carrier?
Approximately 800 feet.
What kind of ship has a runway on it?
It is the aircraft carrier that has a runway called a flight deck.
Can you Play football on aircraft carrier flight deck?
Yes. Falling on the non-skid flight deck surface is painful, however, so it's easier just to play catch.
What is the risk of an aircraft embarked on an aircraft carrier?
All of the risks associated with powered flight, combined with the risks of taking off from and landing on a very small flight deck which is moving at sea.
What is an aircraft carrier superstructure?
The superstructure refers to the structure above the flight deck. It contains most of the command and control operations of the carrier. To be clear, the superstructure (usually referred to as the "island") contains the ship navigation and control command center, as well as the aircraft communications and landing control centers. The combat information center (where all combat-related information and decision are located) is located aft, several decks below the flight deck. In general, for ships, "superstructure" refers to anything above the main deck, which is the flight deck on an aircraft carrier.

How many acres does an aircraft carrier have?
An aircraft carrier typically has a flight deck area of about 4.5 acres, which can vary slightly depending on the class and design of the ship. The overall size of an aircraft carrier, including its deck and internal structure, can be much larger, often exceeding 10 acres in total area. This expansive space allows for the operation of various aircraft and support equipment.
