    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    :) Yes I think I see that. So!!! You are still trying to avoid the obvious. The obvious that has been debated ad nauseam by the navies around the world and a debate that has already been concluded. Sea Control, Command of the Seas, waghera-waghera, is all very good but currently and for...

    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    Seen often enough the ‘Wow EMALS’ reaction. Never could understand this. Kind of like fixating on the porn starlets boobs ignoring the real role a male has to play and the need for the fat misshapen mother of the male’s kids at home. EMALS is effectively useless kind of tech. You can read about...

    INS Vishal (IAC- II) Aircraft Carrier - Flattop or Ski Jump

    The above report says nothing about twin engined or single engined: In fact the report suggests that "Experts have begun evaluating" what kind of 30-35 fixed wing aircrafts can be maintained successfully and efficiently on a 65000 tonne AC alongwith 20 helicopters.
