Description
New class part of the long line of French aircraft carrier, it is providing replacement aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. For my part, I am therefore in favor of the solution may be the most expensive but also and especially one that should lead to better results in the long term: 2 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
with 2 new nuclear-powered units, France will have a very powerful tool that will guarantee him the ability to deploy as necessary a nuclear aircraft carrier. this permanence is not currently possible with one unit.
the new units will be 50% larger than the Charles de Gaulle to accommodate the larger aircraft. when the power reactor, it will be increased to 135MW minimum thanks to the installation of three nuclear reactors of new generation with a capacity of 200MW thermal minimum. all other feed between 4 electric motors of ships.
I plan to allow 2 units on the LPM 2020-2025 and 2026-2031. the contract will stipulate a maximum of 8 years between the order and delivery to the Navy. which would lead to delivery by the end of 2031 and early 2036. The testing phase that will follow will not exceed 3 years before admission to active duty.

If it's about drawing requests, I have to answer no, because I'm not the real draftsman. Why ?
I remind you that this one gave me an EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to share the drawings that interest me for a personal project.

Oh I was curious if you would be willing to draw a conventional powered version of the Charles du Galle designed for the export market ( specifically Egypt or Brazil) with a similar electronics fit and superstructure design.

alas, my publications concern only a personal project, I must answer in the negative.
at the same time, by searching on the internet, it is quite easy to find projects of conventional propulsion aircraft carriers at Naval Group (formerly DCNS) that can be offered for export.
