A solution to the inherent list on Nimitz class aircraft carriers
Nimitz class aircraft carriers possess an inherent list to starboard that their list control systems (LCS) are typically unable to correct while under Combat Load Conditions. As a result, it has become necessary to use fresh water ballast in a number of inner bottom voids and damage control voids …

Technical, economic, and environmental assessment of liquid jet fuel production on aircraft carriers
… of technologies to produce fuel onboard aircraft carriers, which is of interested to the United States Navy. They are interested because the logistical burden and supply chain required for delivering fuel at sea is dangerous, expensive, and subject to changes in markets price for liquid …

Land based air power or aircraft carriers? The British debate about maritime air power in the 1960s
… as the TSR.2 and F.111, prospective VTOL aircraft and not least the CVA-01 fleet carrier, but most of all it focuses on the issue of military strategy. The rivalry between the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force was largely about the questions of carrier aviation versus land-based air power …

Applications of modular construction techniques for habitability spaces in naval ship design and production
… habitability spaces in naval ships, particularly aircraft carriers, are manpower intensive and expensive. In response to decreasing defense spending, the Navy is considering methods to improve the affordability of aircraft carriers. Modular construction techniques for habitability spaces offer …

USS John F. Kennedy Memorial Center
Aircraft Carriers are naval vessels that allow for landing and take-off of military aircraft. Typically, Aircraft Carriers are active for 50 to 60 years then need to be retired or decommissioned. The ship is either torn apart for resources, sunk to the bottom of the ocean to serve as an artificial …

The Application of Flexible Structures into Carrier-Based Aircraft to Dissipate Landing Energies
Aircraft designed for naval aircraft carriers experience great airframe stress during landing due to the high vertical velocities that they must maintain as a consequence of the extremely short runway and shallow landing angle of attack. This creates a need for structural rigidity to counteract the …

United States navy fleet problems and the development of carrier aviation, 1929-1933
… Britain??s until the 1920s. The first American aircraft carrier, the Langley, commissioned in 1919, provided the Navy with a valuable platform to explore the potential uses of carrier aviation, but was usually limited to scouting and fleet air defense in the U.S. Navy??s annual interwar …

Space-time Description of Supersonic Jets with Thermal Non-uniformity
… plumes that exhaust from the engines of tactical aircraft produce intense noise signatures that expose the Navy personnel working on the deck of aircraft carriers to dangerously high levels of noise that often results in hearing damage. Reducing the noise radiated by these supersonic plumes is of …

The Turbulence Structure of Heated Supersonic Jets with Offset Total Temperature Non-Uniformities
… for the Department of Defense. Personnel on aircraft carriers are exposed to dangerous noise levels of noise from tactical aircraft, causing hearing damage which results in significant costs for medical care and treatment. Additionally, NASA and the FAA have begun to investigate the viability …

Assessing the performance of human-automation collaborative planning systems
… for deck operations on United States Naval aircraft carriers is utilized in this testing program. Human users collaborate with the planning algorithm to generate new schedules for aircraft and crewmembers engaged in carrier deck operations. A metric class hierarchy is developed and used to …
