According to security circles, China is repeatedly using foreign know-how to move closer to its goal of breaking the military supremacy of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. According to media reports, these switches are now considered a technical centerpiece of the new aircraft carrier. Normal transistors would be too slow for use in the catapult. That had developed a switch, innocuous at first glance, that could switch the supply of extreme amounts of electricity on and off super-fast. In 2008, the locomotive manufacturer Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric from China acquired a majority stake in the British company Dynex Power. Launching off and landing on an aircraft carrier is one the most dangerous and exhilarating experiences for a Navy pilot. Today, this electromagnetic catapult serves as warning evidence that Western high technology can end up with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army via a detour of private-sector investment. Similar to a magnetic levitation train, a sled is accelerated with enormous propulsion, into which the aircraft is hooked. 1/3 A helicopter takes off from China's Shandong aircraft carrier, over Pacific Ocean waters, south of Okinawa prefecture, Japan, in this handout photo taken Apand released by the. aircraft carriers, they will apparently not be powered by steam, but by state-of-the-art electromagnetic technology, according to Janes, the U.S. And they are causing a stir for another reason. The exclusive images from LiveEO show that there will be a total of three catapults on deck. Accordingly, they can take more weapons and fuel on board. A catapult, however, is much more efficient, allowing heavier aircraft to take off from the carrier. China’s first two aircraft carriers, which are still based on the Russian Admiral Kuznetsov-class design, have only a kind of jumping ramp. Under these, the catapults were installed to accelerate the aircraft later during takeoff. Military strategists will be particularly interested in the long, tent-like covers at the front of the ship. Just over a year passed between the laying of the keel and the completion of the approximately 320-meter-long main structure of the ship, which has been christened “Fujian.” Otherwise, this mainly produces large container ships. Analysis of the latest satellite images from LiveEO shows how the ship with the type designation 003 has been built at the Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai since 2019. Ĭhina continues to upgrade its navy: The first completely self-developed aircraft carrier was launched this Friday. This is a translation of the original article written in German by “ Thomas Stölzel “. “Economy from above” is a collaboration between WirtschaftsWoche and LiveEO. ![]() Satellite images now show how the shipyard is installing the centerpiece – the electromagnetic catapults. The new warship is also said to be based on technology that China tricked Europe into acquiring.
