Aircraft carrier

The History of the Military Aircraft Carrier The modern military aircraft carrier is a formidable war machine. It is essentially a mobile airbase, capable of deploying a country’s aerial force anywhere around the globe, regardless of distance from its home country. These incredible machines can measure up to 333 meters (1,093ft) in length, and weight upwards of 106,300 metric tons. The largest carriers can carry as many as 90 airplanes and helicopters, with a full complementary crew of 3,200 seamen and another 2,480 airmen. This article will show you the history of the aircraft carrier, from its humble beginnings to the mighty Supercarriers of today. The History of Aircraft Carriers The USS Ronald Reagen Balloon Carriers The aircraft carrier’s humble beginning dates back to the 19th century, where floating barges were used to anchor hot air balloons for observation purposes. In 1849, the Austrian navy used hot air balloons in a failed attempt to drop bombs on the city of Venice. During the American Civil War, the United States used gas-filled balloons for long-distance observation of Confederate forces. The Age of the Fixed Wing The first fixed-wing airplane became a reality in 1903, but it took only eight years for the French Navy to construct a seaplane carrier, though planes would not launch from the surface of the ship itself and instead were lowered to the water and allowed to take off. On January 18th, 1911, Eugene Ely became the first person to land and take off from a stationary ship. In 1918, the British Navy converted the HMS Argus into the first flat-topped aircraft carrier.

​Translation to CZ:
Historie dopravce vojenských letadel Moderní vojenská letadla dopravce je impozantní válečný stroj. Je to v podstatě mobilní airbase, schopné nasazení vzdušné síly dané země kdekoli na světě, bez ohledu na vzdálenost od své domovské zemi. Tyto neuvěřitelné stroje mohou měřit až 333 metrů (1,093ft) na délku a hmotnost více než 106,300 metrických tun. Největší nosiče mohou nést tolik jako 90 letouny a vrtulníky, s plnou posádkou komplementární 3200 námořníků a dalších 2,480 letců. Tento článek vám ukáže historii letadlové lodi od jeho skromných začátků se mocnými Supercarriers dnes.
Stáří pevnými křídly
První pevné křídlo letadla stala skutečností v roce 1903, ale trvalo osm let pro francouzské námořnictvo zkonstruovat hydroplánu nosič, i když letadla by se spustit z povrchu samotného lodi a místo toho byly sníženy do vody a nechá se vzlétnout. Na lednu 18. 1911, Eugene Ely se stal prvním člověkem, který přistát a vzlétnout z pevné lodi. V roce 1918, Britové Navy převedeny na HMS Argus do prvního plochého deskou letadlové lodi.

V polovině 1920, několik námořnictev po celém světě zadala výstavbu ploché paluby letadlových lodí. Tyto lodě byly obvykle vytvářeny s využitím stávajících lodí, které byly upraveny tak, aby splnily své nové role. Během druhé světové války, tyto lodě se stal páteří USA, Britové, japonské a námořnictva, a oni hráli významnou roli v boji.
1950 - současnost
1950 a 60. předznamenaly v jaderném věku, stejně jako vynález vrtulníku, a obě tyto inovace přinesla novou éru v designu letadlové lodi. Jaderné reaktory byly instalovány v novém USS Enterprise letadlové lodi, které mu umožní pracovat po výrazně delší dobu, zatímco nosič vrtulníků byly postaveny jako menší podpory nosičů, a to díky nedostatku potřeby přistávací dráhy. Během této doby, britské námořnictvo přišel s geniální způsob, jak postavit menší dopravci začleněním rampy, čímž zkracuje vzdálenost potřebnou k zahájení letouny.
Prostřednictvím druhé poloviny 20. století, letadlová loď se stal symbolem námořní síly, a mnozí byli postaveni různých zemí. Byla jim USA používá během válek v Koreji a Vietnamu, a později během války v Perském zálivu. Skrz jihovýchodní Asii, bývalých kolonií použil je v různých konfliktech, včetně válce mezi Indií a Pákistánem, a to i během britsko-argentinské Falkland války.
V současné době, různé země stále pracovat letadlové lodě (zatím nejvíce používat menší nosič vrtulníků v důsledku vysokých provozních nákladů):
