Veto Aerospace Leviathan Aircraft Carrier

[RedDwarfIV]

The Leviathan can be safely described, even in front of its engineers, as a big wing with a runway on it. However, it is a huge improvement over the comparitively tiny Softwhale, since it can actually go straight. The Leviathan carries a Seahawk-type interceptor. Whilst this is certainly not an improvement over the Softwhale\'s Softwing-type, it is light enough to be carried by a simple stock decoupler, and as such no aircraft part-carrying trucks were driven that day.

It generates such a massive amount of lift what it needs only two sets of pontoons, with some skids on either side to facilitate dry landings and keep stability in water.

Veto Aerospace claims no responsibility over the misplaced heavy aileron having broken off one of the large detachable wings and landed on the deck.

And the best part for me... the plane takes off.

what mods you use for that?

C7 Experimental

HSTW Skids

I almost managed to land the plane back on the ship. I made the carrier go a lot faster than normal because previously the interceptor was too fast.

cool

Nice! I love the design. You should see my current project, I will be taking a video of it soon. But for now, heres a picture.

I love the differences in our designs though, gives me a lot to think about

This craft though, I am trying to figure out a way to make a control tower similar to aircraft carriers IRL. Its also still too short for my liking

Ouch, good luck having the control tower off to one side. You will have to get some super heavy parts to compensate.

Also, I want you guys to record yourselves shooting down one of these with either a missile or a railgun.

I think that the compensation parts will only need to be on for the duration of the flight, after I am in the sea, it should be fine, although I may end up going in big circles :L

The plane that I have on the ship in the above picture is actually a dive bomber, and I made it specifically for bombing a carrier, so I think I will be blowing it up soon

The problem with hitting them though, is its damn hard to aim in this game :L

Yeah, they dont like landing on a moving ship

[RedDwarfIV]

I tried shooting it with the railgun, but being close enough to aim meant that the shots all just went straight over it. I shall have to equip my interceptor with missiles. They should be lighter too.

What\'s HSTW?

This (scroll down to 'Amphibious Gear').

.craft file? Or is it there and I just missed it?

Nope, he just wants us to suffer.

[RedDwarfIV]

Actually, I just don\'t think its good enough yet. Takeoff is still difficult and the centre section of the deck wobbles all over the place.

The way I found was best to stop the wobble, was to put fuel tanks or similar in as wedges, This at least stops them swinging down, The only problem is that the lift factor causes the winglets to want to rise :/ Thats why the modified deck parts I did have no lift.
