The U.S.S. Gerald Ford weighs about 90,000 tons. That's over 180 million pounds. The amount of energy needed to lift that much weight would be mind boggling. Short of strapping a few Saturn 5 rockets to each side, it's a safe bet that the technology to pull this off won't exist for at least another century or two.
@@Robertk-tn the weight of an aircraft carrier, the weight of the aircraft, fuel for the aircraft, the crew, food for the crew. The reactor, the water to cool the reactor. You're not looking at the weight of an aircraft carrier, you're looking at possibly the weight of two to three aircraft carriers right there. Impossible.
Also you need to make it so that it won't get shot down by a meager 10mil dollar missile from the sky. Would be a neck breaking story if a billion dollar airfleet gets shot down in the warfield
That would be me and I figured it out. It will be featured in some of my future content. (And yes, I was inspired my Avengers Assemble.) I can prove it, too. Just drop me a line and I'll send you a free copy of CODE NAME: Monte Rico, where I invented five new weapons.
You're correct! Military powers such US, Soviet Union and Nazi Germany have explored this idea. The US launched one in 1933 via helium air ship that could carry, launch, and retrieve mid air scout planes.
I especially like _“this is possible, because technology.”_ Phew! I’m super glad you cleared that up for us!! *Me:* _“How does it work?”_ *You:* _“I just did a technology!”_
Yeah... this isn't going to happen, unless there is some serious security and safety measures added to it. Perhaps a photon shield, energy shield, or some extremely prcise and fast anti missile technology. If one engine is taken out, or just some portion of power is reduced, the entire "flying aircraft carrier" would fall out of the sky and be completely destroyed. This is pie in the sky at best, and a horrible idea at worst.
Yeah - Its just staggering how many clowns peddling this sort of sci-fi bullshite there are on RUclips. Worse is the fact there are literally millions of people who believe this crap is real. Millions claim the moon missions were faked and then millions turn around and believe this crap. Its enough to make you wonder if oxygen is actually a hallucinogenic.
Nope, it's easier to hide in the sky than land or water. Water is so dangerous, their is a lot of enemy to comprehend. With projectiles going down, enemy will just need little energy to attack. While in air with US perfect stealth there only few attacks to watch out, but even an enemy would detect them they will need more energy to launch an attack. Since projectiles going up consumes a lot of energy. Example weapons like cannons, high caliber bullets, small missiles, and torpedoes can't reach them only fighter jets and medium to bigger size missiles can reach them. Besides since ancient times there is always so called higher ground advantages. The higher you are the more invincible you will for any attacks. Same as goes to the sky.
@@getssmith112 are you kidding me? I can't fly higher than 10k feet otherwise people on deck would need their own breathable oxygen while trying to maintain operations. As far as stealth, there's no way you can make it hard to be noticable or targeted with everything going on and around it.
Wow the navy have been busy producing powerful and amazing aircraft and technology continuesly just like star trek is also navy and a wave of our future so to everyone "Live Long And Prosper"
The reasons most countries don't invest in aircraft carriers is that they are a bigger target. There are cold launch hypersonic missiles that can blow any aircraft carrier out of the water before any radar can detect it in time. Unmanned drones that can be programmed to attack a ship in swarms overwhelming the ship's defensive capabilities. The bigger the object the bigger the target.
It's main purpose is exactly what it's name is. Aircraft carrier. The benefit to transport fighter jets to far off places while at the same time carry large missiles and nuclear warheads. Enable the US to be in direct strike distance to any country in the world
No matter how advanced we think US is, building a flying aircraft carrier is literally IMPOSSIBLE in present. Maybe in 100-200 years we can. But not today nor in the near future.
🇪🇺🇬🇷👋 they could build a small carrier .1 big plane carrying 1 small fighter jet like space shuttle plane it's the only logical solution 1 big plane carrying a fighter jet close to battle and then leave it to fly to save fuel 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷👋🙏🙏🏴☮☮☮🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👑👋🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴
The closest thing to a practical and useful flying aircraft carrier was a soviet concept design that used the ground effect to fly above water, this would allow the carrier to travel much faster than any conventional carrier and with minimal fuel cost, (+and it could fly over mines and torpedoes I think) while still being stable, safe and capable of carrying refueling and rearming state of the art full sized fighter jets + all the other crazy shit aircraft carriers do and more. & It could float the idea of an actually flying carrier is ridiculous for multiple reasons: Fuel use would be insane, A flying aircraft carrier could easily be shot down by a missile, and unlike a normal carrier the crew wouldn't have time to abandon ship or salvage planes since they would be falling to earth 3mud air refueling does the same job for a much lower cost and the fuel tanker are much harder to hit, (the only thing it can't do is rearm planes) 4, if you went the route of a large plane carrying parasite fighters, they would be hopelessly out competed by a larger more advanced and more equipped fighter jet taking of from a runway, 5 today is all about stealth, missiles can be fired from over the horizon and can be almost undetectable, the best way not to get seen and shot down is not to be detected, good luck building a stealthy flying aircraft carrier, And 5 an airship wouldn't be much faster than a ship
Still those ground effect vehicles failed too, aka the Caspian sea monster, if they stop moving they are just a sitting floating/duck, plus they only worked well in calm flat/water conditions, had a very limited range ... combat hovercrafts n landing vehicles also were just a passing fad though offered lower speed but more consistent performance plus could leave the water to some degree.
@@ngriffo45 exactly largely because the Russians for all their faults which are many don't seek or want to leverage large parts of the world for geopolitical power ... they do want some of the vauge resource rich enthno-russian territories lost in the breakup/fall of the USSR/CCCP ... still they sit on a crazy amount of intercontinental nuclear weapons etc so they are sitting pretty ... while the USA rubs up against China in the South Chinese sea ... that's a long way from Neu York let alone Washington
Plus developing both a sea based carrier and the jets that can/could fly of it is expensive... very expensive ... especially in the age of the 6th generation combat fighters n bombers ... why bother when your own country spans 4 time zones ... fronts onto most other problem nations or allies ... aircraft carriers are expensive, air bases on your borders less so
At that point it may as well be a space craft. You could not even walk on the platform without a oxygen mask. & You will need special clothing to stop you freezing at high altitude. Stupid video, concept that will never work.
@@kevinkarbonik2928 They were lighter than air dirigibles that carried heavier-than-air aircraft and could launch an recapture them mid air - by any definition, aircraft carriers - and they also had vectored thrust capabilities - don't think there's anything confusing about it - Though on a technical point, all dirigibles fly a little heavier than air, and rely in part on dynamic lift, for the advisable expedient of a fail-safe return to land in the event of total engine and valving failure.
The Lockheed version of a nuclear powered flying aircraft carrier is so freakn cool but would be soooo expensive. To see it fly would be awe inspiring. Tactically, it would be a HUGE target as well. Yes it can deploy fighters to protect it but ground/sea based anti-air would be disastrous for it I think.
If they can add a sub surface platform for jets to take off towards the front of the carrier, while on the deck, the jets take off to the left. That should double the amount of planes that could take off, twice as fast.
The problem of the number of Aircraft on a Carrier is not how many , but of the storage of them and maintenance. That's the problem for most, the Ford Class can probably carry more but if the hanger is full can maybe carry more on deck like some did in WW2 like when USS Hornet attacked Japan on the Jimmy Doolittle B-25 raid but had USS Enterprise as escorting it then.
Simple question? WHERE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT COMING FROM??? This is a question always asked about healthcare, education and social services that help American citizens...you know..HUMANS.. and theres always stiff push back on where and how it'll get paid for. But military might and things designed to KILL people...TRILLIONS spent without blinking. or hesitation.
This is absolutely absurd. I am all for RD projects with long term goals but we can barley lift one person for longer than 30 minutes with this type of tech. I do get content is hard to create and I appreciate your plight.
Yes. How fast could this fly...the size of it. How agile would it be...How could it avoid enemy fire ? Once downed think of all the personnel and equipment lost.....
Just FYI to all watching, the idea of a flying 'aircraft carrier' doesn't mean a literal carrier strapped to engines. It's more along the lines of a super sized transport plane that can deploy fighter jets from its underside. Although a flying hover carrier would be cool, it would be incredibly difficult with today's tech and needless to mention would cost the gdp of a small country just to operate and maintain.
We already have those ... aka fast attack jets that can in air refuel off a mother tanker or tankers to extend their range/standoff time but the concept of a flying air base is about as practical as a flying aircraft carrier ... As in what's the point? The crew can only be in air for so many hours ... the mechanical engines n gubbins need maintenance n downtime, both can easily be defeated with tracking n missiles ... I'll believe it when Elon Musk tells us its the future :p and he's not even that dumb!
The biggest viable plane that could carry other planes is the Russian Antonov ... it could carry 2 m1a1 Abrams tanks, is slow, guzzles fuel, needs innordately long runways ... so could technically carry 2 mid sized fighters, if you could figure out how to launch them as it has a front lifting nosecone which that ain't happening! Or you just push em out the back ramp and hope the engines fire up ... oddly your pragmatic idea of a plane based plane system is even worse than a flying aircraft carrier! Which is sorta impressive! :)
Plus the amount of personnel that has to be on an aircraft carrier you're just asking for the entire crew to be slaughtered when a gust of wind causes this aircraft to lose control in the air.
Could you imagine the wind on that deck? Imagine a plane off vector getting sucked into one of those fan assemblies? Awesome carnage! Sailer would just be diced up and sprayed as fish food over the sea!
Has anyone thought about the possibility of the jets never having a accident due to not having enough speed to lift off due to failure, at least the pilot can still do a air start,if the engine fails he still has the option to bail out a a life is saved.
Keep in mind that the Lockheed CL 1201 was conceptualized in the 1960's. Think about all the advancements in materials science, and computer modeling, that have occurred since that time. I speculate that it is very possible to build a viable, flying, aircraft carrier now.
Seems like a bad idea; because it may not be able to stay airborne, if hit. True, an aircraft carrier may not be able to float, if hit, but the latter sounds better.
Exactly, while the ocean holds you up ... the sky let's you fall ... It's simple really, take one countries advanced weapon system then develop a cheap counter measure ... aka 100 million dollar fighter vs 500k anti fighter rocket ... May not take it out but will stand it off/disrupt it's ability to be effective... think the NVA with Russian Sam's vs the USAF in Vietnam... they backed off the most advanced n militaria aggressive country on earth with basic fire n forget rockets ...
The concept of a Flying Aircraft Carrier (FAC) doesn't make any sense in deployment over water. But imagine this. Suppose you have a FAC that sails all the way to the coast of a country for either offensive or defensive purposes. From the coast, the FAC goes aerial; then flies several hundred miles inland; THEN lands and becomes a stationary Air Force base where there wasn't one an hour ago AT A DISTANCE FROM THE COAST!! All kinds of scenarios with such a vehicle can be imagined. For example, on the first trip in, it would be mission-joined with a standard AC. Concurrently, the FAC is loaded up with Army / Marine units: APCs tanks, etc Within an hour or two of landing inshore these would all be off-loaded. Concurrently, the Naval Air squadrons would shuttle over to the now-static FAC from the ocean-bound, standard AC which could in turn receiver catapult-capable crews from other areas. ...and on and on...

Cyclocopter tech should be used. I wouldn't say flying but the ability to jump, lets say 100 miles, would be impressive and tactically useful. Same consept as the space/ sea craft from the movie battle ship. Jump in, deploy aircraft, jump out. Then jump back in recover and jump out again.
You have to be out of your mind if you think we will have this any time soon, if we ever do. Think about the government trying to get all the auto manufacturers to go EV. The cost and amount of fuel to keep this thing in the air would bankrupt all of us and send our taxes soaring. Think about it, the only reason why air craft carriers work and are convenient is because they float naturally.
Exactly why bother when you can have f35s n etc based on land in friendly nations ... the aircraft carrier concept died with 2nd world war ... when long range missiles nuclear n biological let alone intercontinental made that concept/doctrine redundant.
Haha the laws of physics always apply, just ask Elon Musk who pretends they don't ... but year in year out his products n promises either underperform, are years late and then garbage ... he can't even get his space trucks out, aka EV trucks n Utes with a ripped off design asthetic from Battlestar Galactica (OG) ... let alone his autonomous self driving software or the helper robot nobody wants in their house!
@@Gesso64 US military tech is always ahead of the field, but not far enough ahead for anything like this. Unless they've perfected some sort of antigravity tech, this isn't happening. More to the point, if they've perfected antigravity tech, this wouldn't be necessary. Lol

@@JacobGevedon We're telling you that your so incredibly duh umb that we're afraid to tell you the truth because you won't have the spare intelligence to breath if we distracted you like that.
I can't even imagine. Just the turbine blades will be millions of pounds. I can't believe they will fly around with multiple air wings aboard, possibly try to have another carrier 100 miles away for stowing aircraft, and just be used to refuel or get really close to targets. I was in the gear, so I'm very interested to see.
The energy consumption for sustainable flight is untenable. Not to mention a giant stationary target. So it would need to have an anti gravity zero fuel propulsion system and complete stealth technology. Yep. Super realistic. I just spent 3 hours at the DMV cause the website is broken . Lol. GTFOH
Break it down to 10 fighters per plane carrier. Have 5 slots on each end or wing for each aircraft that raises the fighters into the wings for maintenance and weapon loading.
That's one of the key factors in my prototype --- it can't be The Avengers, but it can be. If you're interested in how feasible my idea is I'll be glad to send you a free copy of my thriller CODE NAME: Monte Rico, where I invented five new weapons.

No, it isn't. Your friend just understands how incredibly stooped you are and was having a laugh at your expense. BTW, I can spell better than RUclips.
So let's say Flying Carriers would become the next weapon if the future, this means that the US Aircraft naming system would have to change, because C stands for Cargo, so it would have to be something else

But at least they can spell 'sailor.'
Has anyone thought about the possibility of the jets never having a accident due to not having enough speed to lift off due to failure, at least the pilot can still do a air start,if the engine fails he still has the option to bail out a a life is saved.
*flying aircraft carrier: exists* missile: ima end this man’s whole career
Just simply implausible... there's no way that could either exist let alone fly ... hover or move ...
Don't say impossible. You've seen what human kind have done already
@@ShadowWolf-om4ub It definetely isn't impossible, but It isn't happening any time closer than like 70 years.
@@Deran087 its alright. I'll cryo myself until then
I'm still waiting to see the flying aircraft carrier. Click bait!!!!
Until they allow us to have gravity drives none of this will never exist.
Would be cool to see but we’ll have to wait for perhaps a couple centuries to witness this
Ww3 won’t let that happen sorry
@@chazayah5985 sad
Flying tanks and submarines are the next objectives.
Hello that is so excellent 👏 doing great always 👏 so wonderful when Der is a will Der is a way what great courage ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think it would only work if it was a drone carrier.
If we can activate antigravity, an air carrier might not even be a dream.
Flying carrier sẽ là "bữa tiệc béo bở thơm ngon" cho máy bay và tên lửa đối phương
Then how much Fuel going in it at a time are maybe it have Fuel constantly going in it.
Very nice USA!
Keep in mind that the Lockheed CL 1201 was conceptualized in the 1960's. Think about all the advancements in materials science, and computer modeling, that have occurred since that time. I speculate that it is very possible to build a viable, flying, aircraft carrier now.
The newest carriers NEVER need to be refuled.
Right they run on sea water.
Seems like a bad idea; because it may not be able to stay airborne, if hit. True, an aircraft carrier may not be able to float, if hit, but the latter sounds better.
Exactly, while the ocean holds you up ... the sky let's you fall ... It's simple really, take one countries advanced weapon system then develop a cheap counter measure ... aka 100 million dollar fighter vs 500k anti fighter rocket ... May not take it out but will stand it off/disrupt it's ability to be effective... think the NVA with Russian Sam's vs the USAF in Vietnam... they backed off the most advanced n militaria aggressive country on earth with basic fire n forget rockets ...
Like someone already said in the comments, it's easier to swim then to fly
Let me guy the guy who runs this ship will be code named”nick fury?”😂😂😂
The concept of a Flying Aircraft Carrier (FAC) doesn't make any sense in deployment over water.
But imagine this. Suppose you have a FAC that sails all the way to the coast of a country for either offensive or defensive purposes. From the coast, the FAC goes aerial; then flies several hundred miles inland; THEN lands and becomes a stationary Air Force base where there wasn't one an hour ago AT A DISTANCE FROM THE COAST!!
All kinds of scenarios with such a vehicle can be imagined.
For example, on the first trip in, it would be mission-joined with a standard AC. Concurrently, the FAC is loaded up with Army / Marine units: APCs tanks, etc Within an hour or two of landing inshore these would all be off-loaded. Concurrently, the Naval Air squadrons would shuttle over to the now-static FAC from the ocean-bound, standard AC which could in turn receiver catapult-capable crews from other areas.
...and on and on...
Jesus is my king
Sounds like a personal problem to me!🤪🤪🤪
Amen! Mine to!
Could understand a smaller version with armed drones, but I’m sure that it’s already underway.
🇪🇺🇬🇷👋
they could build
a small carrier
.1 big plane
carrying
1 small fighter jet
like space shuttle plane
it's the only logical solution
1 big plane
carrying a fighter jet
close to battle
and then leave it to fly
to save fuel

THE MAIN CONCERN IS AVOIDING FLYING COWS!
And/or pigs
@@exxzxxe yes and flying reindeer as well
just imagine what good that 400 billion could have done in the US but instead they use it to develop a fighter plane
Also, it would take less energy for the flying aircraft carrier to stay aloft in the air compared to the ocean .
This aircraft was introduced in the movie, "The Titans" that had bays for jets and the large winged static Osprey
.
In Saints Row.
In Fallout 4.
Cyclocopter tech should be used. I wouldn't say flying but the ability to jump, lets say 100 miles, would be impressive and tactically useful. Same consept as the space/ sea craft from the movie battle ship. Jump in, deploy aircraft, jump out. Then jump back in recover and jump out again.
"The carrier has arrived."
-Protoss Stargate
Power overwhelming!!!
Wow! Such technology.
You have to be out of your mind if you think we will have this any time soon, if we ever do. Think about the government trying to get all the auto manufacturers to go EV. The cost and amount of fuel to keep this thing in the air would bankrupt all of us and send our taxes soaring.
Think about it, the only reason why air craft carriers work and are convenient is because they float naturally.
Justin Bulgherini That's the scary thing! The Biden administration is insane!
Yes we can lift one of the heaviest man made objects using a few turbofans. Very believable.
Straight out of an episode of Dr Who .
The landing for this aircraft on sea what a great place on Earth.
American carriers aircraft jets be safe God bless you 🙏🙏🇱🇷🇱🇷🌏🌏
😂😂😂 As long as the laws of physics apply, current tech is nowhere near making this a possibility.
Since when is anything from the the military current tech
Exactly why bother when you can have f35s n etc based on land in friendly nations ... the aircraft carrier concept died with 2nd world war ... when long range missiles nuclear n biological let alone intercontinental made that concept/doctrine redundant.
Haha the laws of physics always apply, just ask Elon Musk who pretends they don't ... but year in year out his products n promises either underperform, are years late and then garbage ... he can't even get his space trucks out, aka EV trucks n Utes with a ripped off design asthetic from Battlestar Galactica (OG) ... let alone his autonomous self driving software or the helper robot nobody wants in their house!
@@Gesso64 US military tech is always ahead of the field, but not far enough ahead for anything like this. Unless they've perfected some sort of antigravity tech, this isn't happening. More to the point, if they've perfected antigravity tech, this wouldn't be necessary. Lol
The true laws of physics are classified.
We are a long way from a real Avengers type carrier.
Civilians: you guys are spending to much money on NASA The US Navy: oh really? The government:
If russians made flying aircraft carriors that held 4 fighters to 8 in world war 2 your telling me we cant do the same with more fighters? At least 12 f22s
@@JacobGevedon We're telling you that your so incredibly duh umb that we're afraid to tell you the truth because you won't have the spare intelligence to breath if we distracted you like that.
This isn't Star Wars and there will never be an Aircraft Carrier that can fly.
Is his really possible??
Title should have added ".. Ready for Action in 2122, with Anti Grav Technology.. maybe"
Lol
imagine how heavy it is to fly😳😳
Considering its running on 4 turbine propellers. Im sure it'll be fine
Most likely nuclear reactors aswell
@@dusk07 true
I can't even imagine. Just the turbine blades will be millions of pounds. I can't believe they will fly around with multiple air wings aboard, possibly try to have another carrier 100 miles away for stowing aircraft, and just be used to refuel or get really close to targets. I was in the gear, so I'm very interested to see.
Those carriers are from the Winter Soldier movie.
USA 🇺🇸 at heart
Hat about magnetic lift?
i love this idea. if they can figure out viable ways of doing this, it will be a fantastic springboard for future space born carriers.
If they are just now announcing it
It’s already happened years ago
All one has to do is
Look up the name
Gary McKinnon
The energy consumption for sustainable flight is untenable. Not to mention a giant stationary target. So it would need to have an anti gravity zero fuel propulsion system and complete stealth technology. Yep. Super realistic. I just spent 3 hours at the DMV cause the website is broken . Lol. GTFOH
Are we just Ignoring the Wirlpool in the Background of the USS FORD CLASS,, at 1:04 Time Stamp.. What the Actual Fudge is That !!??..
I’m reminded of a reaction from my youth: “when pigs fly”. 😂
Lol, yea, right! 🤣🤣🤪🤣. We can't even fix our roads and highways! How are we supposed to make buildings fly!?
Blame your local politicians on that one.
It's called The Military Industrial Complex
Thats from a fucking Marvel movie 😭
Break it down to 10 fighters per plane carrier. Have 5 slots on each end or wing for each aircraft that raises the fighters into the wings for maintenance and weapon loading.
That's one of the key factors in my prototype --- it can't be The Avengers, but it can be. If you're interested in how feasible my idea is I'll be glad to send you a free copy of my thriller CODE NAME: Monte Rico, where I invented five new weapons. I actually did the calculations for how this would work --- tweak the parameters, not that hard.
@@theinformationcollector833 Now imagine a sorty of 4 or 5 of these planes with 4 drones each plane. Any military skirmish could be over in hours. Like a symphony orchestra 🎻.
@@jessmason2112 Very true --- and that tech is WWII level. Marilyn Monroe was discovered cause she worked in a drone plant the photographer went to shoot pictures at. They were basically RC models used for target practice, but still drones.
@@theinformationcollector833 Regardless of when the idea came about. If that idea with today's technology would make that sorty untouchable. What a major deterrent that would be to take out a terrorist group or area in one shot with no boots on the ground.
What does US tap water contain, I also want
just like the carriers....1 missel gets through and its game over for thousands. And no1 can stop every missel especially if they use this approach to kill u. just hurl all missels @ once?
A guy told me today that he saw this fly over his home and the sky went black. It flew over the Midwest. If this thing is real, it's crazy.
No, it isn't. Your friend just understands how incredibly stooped you are and was having a laugh at your expense. BTW, I can spell better than RUclips.
Too big...👎doesnt work..🙁
Noob be like
Shut up dude
C-130 with rear end launch and retreval in the rear,with the plane still using 50 cal for protection
Extreammmmmly Impressive! Go USA!
So let's say Flying Carriers would become the next weapon if the future, this means that the US Aircraft naming system would have to change, because C stands for Cargo, so it would have to be something else
this is from the avengers dumb dumb
