	Charles de Gaulle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Gaulle's grandfather was a historian, his grandmother a writer, and his father a professor in private Catholic schools who founded his own private school.
		De Gaulle believed that while the war in Algeria was militarily winnable, it was not defensible internationally, and he became reconciled to the colony's eventual independence.
		De Gaulle was convinced that a strong and independent France could act as a balancing force between the United States and the Soviet Union, a policy seen as little more than posturing and opportunism by his critics, particularly in Britain and the United States, to which France was formally allied.

		The new carrier will not be the same class as the Charles de Gaulle; it will be a conventionally-powered carrier.
		The new system, called SIC 21, will be fitted on the Charles de Gaulle as well as other vessels and shore locations and will allow the vessel to access national or coalition command networks.

		The aircraft is operated by a crew of five, with the pilot and co-pilot on the flight deck and the combat information centre officer, air control officer and radar operator stations located in the rear fuselage directly beneath the rotodome.
		The fuselage is designed for carrier operations and is fitted with a nose-tow catapult attachment for accelerated carrier take-off, an A-frame arrester hook for engagement of the arresting gear and a tail bumper to withstand impact or scraping on the runway.
		One aircraft has been delivered to the French Navy for operation on the Charles de Gaulle carrier and two E-2Cs already delivered are being upgraded to the 2000 standard.

	Charles de Gaulle
		This aircraft carrier, which is both flexible in its deployment and capable of carrying signficant military power, provides the ideal answer to the risks generated by this instability.
		The 40,000 ton Charles de Gaulle can carry long-range aircraft on board, a capability which is currently only available on 90,000 ton US carriers.
		The greater power of the carrier-based aircraft combined with the exceptional endurance of the vessel mean that the Charles de Gaulle can carry through, in an optimum manner, the defensive, offensive and deterrent missions for which it was designed.

		Beyond the primary objectives of reaching various specifications for simulataneous aircraft flight and structural dynmaics control more fundamental questions have been addressed concerning the implications of rigid structural dynamics coupling for the selection of suitable control methodologies; These questions will be developed in the paper, in two main chapters.
		From the operational requirements of an aircraft carrier, it shows how the design stage has ended in defining this innovating heel compensation device, and why the control laws structure was mostly conditioned by the actuators peculiarities and desired performances.
		Aircraft ground movement safety is ensured by controllers who allow mobiles to proceed depending on the global situation and intents of other mobiles.

		In the aircraft, an inertial system, also hybridized with GPS, receives this information from the aircraft carrier system and uses it to initialize its position, speed and acceleration, despite the "lever arm" which exists with regard to the ship's navigation unit.
		This is the basic operating principle of "at-sea alignment", first applied by Sagem in the 1970s and continued today in the Rafale fighter aircraft on board the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
		In the 1970s, Sagem made both the inertial units ("tuned-rotor gyroscope technology") of the Super-Etendard aircraft and their hybrid navigation systems, as well as the hybrid navigation system of the aircraft carrier, which was based on the same type of inertial system.

	How NOT to Build an Aircraft Carrier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The new French nuclear carrier "Charles de Gaulle" has suffered from a seemingly endless string of problems since it was first conceived in 1986.
		Flaws in the "de Gaulle" have led it to using the propellers from it predecessor, the "Foch," because the ones built for "de Gaulle" never worked right and the propeller manufacturer went out of business in 1999.
		The "de Gaulle" took eleven years to build (1988-99) and was not ready for service until late 2000.

		Since the United Kingdom’s Future Carrier Programme was initiated in 1999, both governments have reaffirmed on several occasions their willingness to seek every opportunity for wider cooperation.
		The choice, in February 2004, of conventional propulsion for the second French aircraft carrier has further extended the potential scope for such cooperation.
		We remain committed to identifying the potential benefits of cooperation in all programme phases (development, purchasing, manufacture, manning, training and support) and, respecting the principle that nothing should be done to prejudice either nation’s schedule, aim to have a complete definition of the boundary of possible cooperation by summer 2005.

		Operating this aircraft, and the Kusnetsov, is expensive, and only recently has the navy received enough money to put to sea a lot, and operate its aircraft extensively.
		The only way to develop carrier capability is to keep those ships, and their aircraft, at sea a lot.
		Instead, because of the cost, and the complexity of modern (American style) carriers, the Russians were forced to scale back their goals, and ended up with the 55,000 ton (full load) ships that lacked steam catapults, and used a “ski jump” flight deck instead.
