The Evolution of Aircraft Carrier’s Flight Deck

In today’s episode, we will discuss “The Evolution of Aircraft Carrier’s Flight Deck” if you are curious on how it transforms from time to time, just stay tuned and don’t move anywhere!

The flight deck of an aircraft carrier refers the surface from which its aircraft take off and land, essentially a miniature airfield at sea. On smaller naval ships which do not have aerospace as a primary mission, the landing area for helicopters and other aircraft is also referred to as the flight deck.

Numerous innovations were introduced to the flight decks. The first one were inclined wooden ramps built over the forecastle of warships. Eugene Ely made the first fixed-wing aircraft take-off from a warship from USS Birmingham on 14 November 1910. After several months, the landing process took place on Curtiss pusher plane on a platform on Pennsylvania anchored in San Francisco Bay using the first tailhook system, designed and built by circus performer and aviator Hugh Robinson.

So basically, if we want to know what the future aircraft carrier will be. We just need to look at the British...

Their latest design changes include a twin island and an automated weapons handling system.
Some countries like America and South Korea have or will adopt the changes.

Wonder what the British will come up next ☺

WOW, I never realized the military actually put the Wright Bro's Flyer on a carrier so quickly.

The airplane was invented in 1903 and in 7 years already experimenting with take off from a ship

A mix of battleships and aircraft carriers

Wooden decks on aircraft carrier in the past are vulnerable from fire type weapons while concrete decks are better and cant be burned

2084: launch decks facing the other way too

the British doctrine of STOVL aircraft carrier is a better flight deck architecture than the Russian doctrine of STOBAR aircraft carrier . . . infact the STOBAR isn't even necessary because a 30, 000 ton STOVL aircraft carrier can serve STOBAR flight ops as well . . . all you need is to do is add an arrestor wire in the rear stern section flight deck of the STOVL aircraft carrier & ur good to go . . .

I do remember seeing on tv years + ago that the british had a try with a rubber deck, ...well only the british would try this

You need to fire your researcher. At 1:47 you called the twin 5" 38 guns on CV-14 cruiser caliber guns. Not true. At 2:33 you called the WWII era light carrier the Langley which it probably was but it wasn't built in 1922.
