The carrier-based plane is a special aircraft, which is the main component of the aircraft carrier formation. Its design has the more difficulty than land-based aircraft. In addition to outside land-based aircraft must have proper design requirements, It’s also need to consider the special way of landing and the use of the environment, unique structural / mechanism design features, etc. Analyze and summarize the Restrict to General Design of Carrier-based Aircraft on the cockpit design, adaptation, power plant and structure. This paper can provide design reference for Design of Carrier-based Aircraft.
