France formally green lights PA-Ng aircraft carrier production

French President Emmanuel Macron today announced that France’s PA-Ng next generation aircraft carrier programme will proceed to the realization phase. This major milestone confirms that the French Navy’s current CVN Charles de Gaulle will be replaced from 2038. [...]

Design and development activity completed over the past four years has resulted in a 78,000-tonne displacement ship with an overall length of 310 metres and a beam of approximately 90 metres. Sized around an embarked air group comprising 30 combat aircraft, plus other fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, key characteristics of the PA-Ng design includes ship-wide electrification of power systems and equipment, a single integrated island superstructure, a three-track Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), a three-wire Advanced Arrestor Gear (AAG) recovery system, two hangars, and two deck-edge aircraft elevators (each with a 40 tonne lift capacity) offset to starboard.

Ship size, and the configuration of the 17,200m2 flight deck, has been driven by the requirements of the embarked air group. According to Captain Thibault Lavernhe, the PA-Ng is tailored for an air wing of 30 fighters or unmanned combat air vehicles [UCAVs], three E-2D Hawkeyes and five to six helicopters.

Irgendwie erscheint mir die Zahl von 30 Kampfjets + 3 Aufklärer + 5-6 Helikopter etwas niedrig für ein Schiff von mehr als 300 Metern Länge. Selbst die deutlich kleinere Charles de Gaulle war/ist für bis zu 40 Jets + Aufklärer und Helikopter ausgelegt.
