We are closer to having a human step foot on Mars than we are to having a flying aircraft carrier.

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.

A totally original Idea thats 100% not stolen from marvel💯💯💯💯

Civilians: you guys are spending to much money on NASA The US Navy: oh really? The government:

Somebody is on an AVENGERS quest for flying carriers.

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 landing for this aircraft on sea what a great place on Earth.

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!”_

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 simply implausible... there's no way that could either exist let alone fly ... hover or move ...

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.

Well done, let them fly as many as possible

It will be awhile awesome idea but would take massive lift to pull this off

World most powerful in technologybig up USA.

This aircraft was introduced in the movie, "The Titans" that had bays for jets and the large winged static Osprey .

This FLYING Aircraft Carrier is transformable, and if transformed, it will become a giant robot, I'm sure.

Story that touches the heart...USA Aircraft carrier! Uuunn!

Bruh , nice editing, combination of avenger movie scene and real time aircraft takeoff scene😅

I can't imagine how much energy to lift it up in the air; 10.000 gallons?.

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.

The US had Zeppelin flying aircraft carriers, the Macon and Ackron, back in the 1930s - they even had vectored thrust,

Excellent thanks

USS Macon was a flying aircraft carrier in the 1930s.

Yes we can lift one of the heaviest man made objects using a few turbofans. Very believable.

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.

Make it usa i trust in you! Forza usa

They keep making these videos like this stuff is real and ready for action.

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.

The Mothership 🚀

The amount of fuel a flying aircraft carrier would need outweighs the weight of the whole thing itself. Leave this to Marvel comics.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for this one

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

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!

I like the idea. I believe, it can be done. I suggest to build top cover with semi synthetic glass that is bullet proof and designed aerodynamically for speed.

Wow! Such technology.

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.

Capt. America would be happy, soon he will command a fleet.

Imagine the cost when one of those gets hit by a missile and goes down. Or even worse just has a malfunction and crashes. Looks expensive.

Very super.. USA's

It only makes sense if you use anti gravity

Are their any plans to launch planes from the side of the aircraft carrier?

The last thing we need to do is keep funding the military industrial complex.

The newest carriers NEVER need to be refuled.

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 we can activate antigravity, an air carrier might not even be a dream.

Extreammmmmly Impressive! Go USA!

Thanks for welcome to Washington DC

Would be cool to see but we’ll have to wait for perhaps a couple centuries to witness this

THE MAIN CONCERN IS AVOIDING FLYING COWS!

God bless America 🇺🇸

DONT, MESS WITH THE US 🇺🇸

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.

"The carrier has arrived." -Protoss Stargate

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.

Anything impossible , MADE IN USA ARE POSSIBLE N POWERFUL

I think it would only work if it was a drone carrier.

Thank God. I had extra money this year I was just dieing to spend on taxes for military toys.

🇨🇻🇬🇼🇺🇸Hugo, USA, USA, God bless, ✌️

Damn these carriers are crazy

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.

And people are grinching about putting out a few bucks for college debt relief!!🤬

THEY'VE HAD THESE FOR A VERY LONG TIME...

wow these designs are great

Straight out of an episode of Dr Who .

5:40 The CL-1201 could have been what flew over Phoenix, Arizona in "The Phoenix Lights" incident.

Insan project !

Advanced military weaponry minimizes risks for our troops during missions. Their precision and versatility empower our soldiers to succeed in various scenarios with reduced casualties.

Until they allow us to have gravity drives none of this will never exist.

Could understand a smaller version with armed drones, but I’m sure that it’s already underway.

1:49 What's the protocol for greeting an ally and then joining the fight? Is it just flag-dips or a full seven blanks? In either version, I figure these days, it's only a second or two to the "and then sock it to the Bad Guys" part.

When I was a kid reading Marvel comic books all the time. They had such a thing. Can I tell you, as a kid, that was amazing to see Now is an adult watching the first Marvel movies and seeing it on screen, wow. I can't even imagine if they could actually do this in real life

An aircraft carrier that flies so incredible it must have been very clever and brilliantly engineered. It's a truly amazing sci-fi-like design. An amazing project But I think America has very good thinkers and designers.

Title should have added ".. Ready for Action in 2122, with Anti Grav Technology.. maybe"

I watch these vids so the thumbnails keep on coming lol

C-130 with rear end launch and retreval in the rear,with the plane still using 50 cal for protection

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.

😂😂😂 As long as the laws of physics apply, current tech is nowhere near making this a possibility.

I wish all countries would spend their defense budget to make this world beautiful and support people instead of fighting and killing each other. They should live peacefully and love each other. Helping each other'.

How amazing ❤️

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.

The F-35 is so lethal it kills the enemy and the pilot.

Extreamly impressive! Go USA!!!

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

Lol, yea, right! 🤣🤣🤪🤣. We can't even fix our roads and highways! How are we supposed to make buildings fly!?

That would be amazing. But definitely generations away before you see a flying aircraft carrier.

Flying aircraft carriers gotta be hella durable

With the F35 being the joint fighter program for many `allied countries the overspend was outrageous , what should of happened was a fixed cost with a time penalty clause this would of saved all the countries involved money. I/m from the UK and I’m a Professor of Economics that’s usual in Business and at the end of the day the F35 was invented to be sold a business opportunity.

The lockheed CL-1201 was a waste because of the lost space due to wingspan. They say "size" does matter.

Flying carrier sẽ là "bữa tiệc béo bở thơm ngon" cho máy bay và tên lửa đối phương

The detail of digital construction is only limited to current technology and mans imaginative creativity.

Those carriers are from the Winter Soldier movie.

We are a long way from a real Avengers type carrier.

Flying tanks and submarines are the next objectives.

We would like to see The end of Drama of that Monster carry out Battle on the Sea water .. with Enemy Full stop !!!

The only reason you want it to fly is to get somewhere faster over land otherwise while flying its a massive blip on the radar of any country it gets near let alone fly over. Zero point in a flying carrier. Sailing is stealthier.

imagine how heavy it is to fly😳😳

Then how much Fuel going in it at a time are maybe it have Fuel constantly going in it.

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.

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.
