It is stated that the aircraft carrier "Prince of Wales" has a "accident factor"

The other day, the second British aircraft carrier of the Queen Elizabeth type went to sea trials. This is the 280-meter giant "Prince of Wales", the basis of the air group of which should be the deck fighter 5-generation F-35B. The first test frames published by the British Navy were, to put it mildly, not awarded the most flattering assessments of an aircraft carrier by foreign military experts.

Most criticized zeal in China. The specialized publications are trying to outdo each other in terms of finding flaws in the British aircraft carriers of this class. Thus, the well-known Chinese portal Sohu in Russia publishes the opinion, which is expressed in the following: the latest British aircraft carriers have an increased accident rate.

In this regard, the question arises as to how Chinese experts on photographs of the “Prince of Wales” managed to understand this? In China, it is stated that the accident rate is associated not so much with the aircraft carrier itself as with its aircraft wing. Attention, in particular, is drawn to deck superstructures. The ship was built according to the project, which involves two such superstructures at a certain distance from each other. It is this distance that is defined as a risk and accident factor.

From the material:

Superstructures spaced along the deck can lead to sharp lateral gusts of wind and air currents. The speed of these flows between add-ons will increase. And if at this moment the plane lands on the deck, it can literally be blown off to the side, and it may lose the possibility of balance for a safe landing. Wind, which will increase due to the location of deck structures, can lead to an accident.

At the same time, China expects such a statement to be commented on by manufacturers of aircraft carriers such as Queen Elizabeth, among which BAE Systems occupies a special place. So far, comments from manufacturers have not been published.

And this is a comment by one of the Chinese users of the mentioned publication:

Is Britain still dreaming of a new opium war?

Well, the British explained everything. in the staffing table, in advance, they entered the "Accident Factor", so that everything goes according to the previously approved plan.

Not able or ... just tell me - why?
We open the military doctrine of Russia and try to stick the aircraft carrier there.
There is no place. (Not even money and competencies, namely goal-setting is not provided).
Let's add the item "force projection" overseas to the doctrine. Well, at least some number of miles to (Africa, Australia, South America).
The doctrine, after all, is not scribbling, it determines the development and structure of industry, the redistribution of budget funds for YEARS ahead.

You first read it at least.
The Maritime Doctrine of the Russian Federation, approved in 2015, for example, puts forward the Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific, Indo-Pacific, Antarctic and Caspian as the main regional directions of national maritime policy.

Those. To solve problems in 5 out of 6 directions, an ocean fleet is required, which includes aircraft carriers as well.

US icebreakers are needed, but so far there are none.
Most likely, a couple of aircraft carriers will not hurt Russia, but icebreakers are needed in the first place.
Since it is first to provide an economic basis (the Northern Sea Route and the defense of the northern territories and resources), and then additional opportunities can be developed.

That's when the United States will have a serious flotilla of icebreaking ships then there will be something to discuss.
In the meantime, parity.
In the states, the icebreaker is out of order; in Russia, an aircraft carrier in the same position.

Well, purely theoretically, we already have an aircraft carrier, and the icebreaker will be laid only in 2021, so there is no parity, there is a question of what will be done faster, a new icebreaker will be built or an old aircraft carrier will be repaired?

[Livonetc]

The United States has a couple of icebreakers, but is not operational.
One of them must have been repaired already.
I don’t know how it is.

What is typical in the post-war years of the United States built and leased the USSR 3 icebreakers

[Livonetc]

This is characteristic because of business.
But the Frenchmen behaved stupidly and uncharacteristically, refusing to sell helicopter carriers.
But Russia also acts quite characteristically.
The United States proposed hypersonic missiles.
Saudi Arabia air defense systems S400.
Russia is typically a normal country, always ready for cooperation.
Assisted Americans in Afghanistan.
And the Anglo-Saxons only have highlie likes, bullshit and endless sanctions.
It is uncharacteristic for a normal business.

Quite :) Now for example, the RRS Sir David Attenborough, a research vessel for the British Antarctic Service, is almost completed.

[rotmistr60]

It turns out that the Chinese finally realized that it is possible and necessary to criticize not only Russian weapons and ships, but also to criticize the NATO. For the Chinese, the best is their own, which from an ideological point of view is absolutely correct.

[voyaka uh]

Here is a photo that shows that the two towers of the superstructures are located quite far from each other. And they are not very tall. It is unlikely that a wind tunnel will arise between them.

Yes, it doesn’t seem to be a matter of the pipe, as it were, in visuality, the definition of the first tower or the second.
Yes, and one, as I understood from above, probably refused to build. In one dispatcher to another office.

[novel66]

under certain conditions - a wind corridor is quite possible;

[voyaka uh]

Well, actually the landing on the F-35B is vertical, in the stern of the ship. Add-ons do not interfere. And the run-up of this model is so short that it won’t blow it away ...
Now, if in the future they switch to the F-35C, then there will be some kind of influence of the side winds.

[Avior]

Will not be. For this, two towers were made to remove one large and associated turbulence of the flow

[BARKAS]

I thought that when a fighter takes off, an aircraft carrier is always set against the wind.

[novel66]

and abrupt change of wind is not considered?

[Boa kaa]

Quote: novel xnumx

and abrupt change of wind is not considered?

Roma, change in direction or strength !? More precisely, put the question!
And the second. Aircraft flights are limited by weather. At a wind speed of more than 20 m / s, I believe that "verticals" will not fly.
But you can always "choose" the speed of the AVM of the order of 10 m / s of the "resulting" speed of the carrier when landing the aircraft.
AVM has a normal hydro-meteorological service! If she numbered as many as 4 people on "Kiev", then you can imagine what she is like on a real AVM !!!

[Livonetc]

The pipe may not.
But here is the experience of the layman.
When you travel along a highway from a forest zone to an open space during a side wind, the car begins to demolish.
And this despite the fact that the car is not in the air.
With a side wind, not with a vertical landing, some difficulties may arise.
However, this was probably modeled and tested in a wind tunnel during design.
And the aircraft carrier can maneuver providing the necessary conditions for landing.

The comment about "gusts of wind" during landing on the deck of aircraft is the delirium of a Chinese non-seaman who, because of his desk with keyboard, does not see the "dynamics of the process" at close range!
The thing is that the AVM "turns its nose into the wind and goes at full speed" in order to reduce the resulting relative motion speed (landing speed) of the aircraft when it lands on the deck. The air flow around the superstructures is practically laminar!
Variant of vertical landing F-35B.
What prevents the "Prince / Elizabeth" from turning downwind and equalizing the relative wind speed to zero or very close to 5 m / s! on the flight deck ... What "lateral" gusts did a hack from the Chinese media dream about !?
Nonsense! Unless, of course, who understands the dynamics of the process ...

[EDWARD]

I have vague suspicion .. that Mrs. Olga Skabeeva .. is registered on the VO website.

[HAM]

One question arises: since when did the Chinese become great experts? They fought ... we know ..
Although, I guess: they’ve already sorted and cloned all the equipment ... and therefore they understand the sausage scraps ....

[Lexus]

The "prince" should not approach the Chinese coast. And how they blow "between the superstructures"! To be honest, "warned."

[PPD]

Is the Prince of Wales a drunken Nazi salute thrown away?
Hmm, can something be done with the name?

In order to play some noticeable role in the oceans, they need to have at least no less than all NATO countries combined. One or three things still will not solve anything. You are ready to put your teeth on a shelf in order to build two dozen, and a couple of thousand aircraft (without aviation, the carrier is the target, not the weapon).

Colleague! You do not confuse Aircraft carriers with tanks! These are two different things, as they said in Odessa ...
Three AVMs on one MTVD are an umbrella for all fleet forces - both surface and underwater! And besides, it has tremendous impact power with a capacity of up to 120 s / sorties of strike groups AB during the first 5 days of the database!

[TermNachTer]

This is not the first aircraft carrier that the British built. I think that the issue of crosswind during takeoff and landing was considered and taken into account. So this argument narrow-film eskperdy clearly sucked out of the finger.

But for this you need to take not only from you, but from your whole family not only salaries, pensions, pants and houses, in order to use these funds only to write the title section of the project for the construction of these three AVMs. How did the toast sound there in the immortal film "Prisoner of the Caucasus" - about opportunities and desires?
