DCS Airborne aircraft carrier

[tigershark1-1]

I'd love to land on an airborne aircraft carrier. I've often admired them in science fiction. Banshee of Yukikaze, Aigaion of Acecombat6, Hagorimaru of The Magnificent KOTOBUKI, they were all fascinating.

That would indeed be cool to land on a fantastically huge flying platform,

In clouds and weather it would be mind bending for sure

Ignoring the genuine feasibility and costs, I was just thinking of a few ideas:

- let’s make it nuclear powered to cater for long term power needs

- make it float, such that it can land and won’t need enormous new landing strips

- electric lift and manoeuvring fans

- no flight deck in the traditional sense.  It would probably be too dangerous to both deck crew and aircraft.  Make it enclosed, say more like Battlestar galactica

- with the enclosed flight deck, it would be safer and viable to cruise at say 200-300knots and some clever aerodynamics could provide some lift to assist the fans

- aircraft recovery would be more akin to A2A refuelling and say the helicopter clamping system used on Frigates and Destroyers

- aircraft launch could be to just drop, almost like pushing cargo out of the back of a Hercules
 

Anyone care to mod this?

ものすごく巨大な飛行プラットフォーム に着陸するのは 本当にクールだろう。

雲と天気があれば、間違いなく気が狂いそうになるだろう

 

Yes, just thinking about that scene excites me.

実際の実現可能性とコストを無視して、私はいくつかのアイデアを考えていました。

- 長期的な電力需要を満たすために原子力発電にしましょう

- 浮かべて着陸できるようにし、巨大な新しい滑走路を必要としないようにする

- 電動リフトと操縦ファン

- 伝統的な意味での飛行甲板はありません。おそらく、デッキクルーと航空機の両方にとって危険すぎるでしょう。宇宙空母ギャラクティカのように密閉されたデッキにしましょう

- 密閉された飛行甲板があれば、200～300ノットで巡航するのがより安全で実行可能になり、巧妙な空気力学によってファンを助けるためにいくらかの揚力を生み出すことができるだろう。

- 航空機の回収はA2Aの給油に似ており、フリゲート艦や駆逐艦で使用されているヘリコプターのクランプシステムに近いと言えるでしょう。

- 航空機の打ち上げは、まるでヘラクレスの後ろから貨物を押し出すかのように、ただ落下するだけかもしれない。
 

これを改造したい人はいますか?

I have an idea in my head, and if I can work with the modders, I'll have an idea soon, but I'll try to get it down on a diagram later.

I knew about this mod, but I am sorry that it is not functioning properly at the moment,,

I can't even imagine the FPS hit while modeling a 2 km long Battlestar....But it would be fun to land on one....or take off via launch tube!

I originally thought that dropping aircraft would easier, but thinking about it, putting a whole in the bottom would potentially impact upon its seaworthiness.  So maybe launch tubes using electro-magnetic cats would be more appropriate.  Angling the launchers could provide a ski-jump type take off.  
Recovery of aircraft whilst floating on water would require a flight deck, unless all the aircraft are like the F35c
