The aircraft used by the ancient China
The ancient China used many kinds of flying machines. Emperor Shun once used two large bamboo hats as wings to glide down from a granary to escape. This was the earliest story of the ancients using similar aircraft in historical records. The bamboo dragonfly was invented during the Spring and Autumn Period. It was a simple but magical toy. Its shape was in the shape of a T and was usually made of bamboo. The horizontal part was a propeller, and a bamboo stick was inserted into the hole in the middle. The bamboo stick could be twisted with both hands to fly into the sky. It was spread to Europe in the 18th century and was considered the prototype of modern helicopters. Wooden kites had appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After Cai Lun's paper-making technique was popularized in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper kites began to spread in northern China. They could be used for military purposes such as transmitting information. In ancient times, there were records of kites carrying people. For example, in 19 AD, someone used the wings of a large bird to perform an aerial performance. In addition, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the residents of the Qigong Kingdom were good at making a flying car that could fly with the help of the wind. Zhang Hua's Natural History also mentioned that this kind of flying car had flown to Yuzhou during the Shang and Tang Dynasties, but the structure and working principle of the flying car were not explained in detail.

The earliest aircraft in ancient China
The earliest use of flying machines in China historical records was related to the ancient leader Shun. Shun's stepmother and younger brother often slandered Shun's father, who wanted to harm Shun. Once, when Shun was repairing the roof of the barn, his father set the barn on fire. Shun used two big bamboo hats as wings and glided down from the barn to escape. Therefore, from a recorded point of view, the bamboo hat used by Shun could be regarded as the earliest object similar to the concept of aircraft in ancient China. In addition, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mozi once wrote,"Cut bamboo into a kite and fly for three days without falling." There was also Gongshu Ban (Lu Ban) who wrote,"Cut bamboo into a kite and fly for three days without falling." Moreover, the wooden kite made by Lu Ban could carry people and fly thousands of miles. It could even take off and land vertically. It was also used for military reconnaissance. However, in terms of chronology, Shun's use of bamboo hats was recorded earlier.

China carrier aircraft
There were many types of transport aircraft in China. The following was a partial introduction: - Yun- 9 (codename: Y - 9, English: Shaanxi Y - 9) transport aircraft: This was an aircraft model that China had developed twice. The 77-ton transport aircraft designed by the Chinese was basically an enlarged version of the 61-ton Y -8F- 200. Its capacity was comparable to the US military's C -130J "Super Hercules" transport aircraft. It was powered by four propeller engines and could carry 25 tons of supplies or 132 paratroopers (there were nine 108 x 88 inch cargo trays in the cabin). It had four crew members, a cruising speed of 650 km/h, and a maximum range of 7800 km. - Tianzhou cargo spacecraft: It was an active cargo spacecraft of the China Space Station. It had a maximum load of 13.5 tons and was mainly designed for upstream transportation (transporting cargo to the space station). - Haolong cargo space shuttle: 10 meters long, 8 meters wide, and the maximum weight is less than 7 tons. It is a small space shuttle. It was mainly used for downward transportation, relying on smaller size, self-landing on the airport runway, and new technologies such as reuse to reduce transportation costs. At present, the design phase of the scheme had been completed and the engineering development was in full swing. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

The earliest aircraft was from China
The earliest hot air balloon was China's Kongming Lantern, which could be regarded as the ancestor of hot air balloon aircraft. The earliest flight paddle was related to China's bamboo dragonfly, which was designed before Da Vinci and was the pioneer of propeller-type aircraft. The earliest use of jet propulsion aircraft was also in China. In ancient China, gunpowder was used to invent rockets. Moreover, China's Shenhuo Flying Duck was the world's first unmanned aircraft. Therefore, from the origin of many types of aircraft, many of the earliest inventions related to aircraft came from China. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

List of China's 8 aircraft carriers
As of November 15, 2024, China only had three aircraft carriers in service or in sea trials, namely the Liao, Shandong, and Fujian ships. There were still no eight aircraft carriers, so it was impossible to provide a list of eight aircraft carriers. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

China's 300-ton transport aircraft
There was news that the China Air Force might develop a 300-ton transport aircraft in the future. According to previous military experts, the next generation of transport aircraft would achieve a huge breakthrough in the size of China's large aircraft. The updated model developed based on the Yun- 20 may be a 300-ton transport aircraft, and its maximum carrying capacity is likely to increase to more than 120 tons, exceeding the maximum carrying capacity of the US military C -17A transport aircraft of 78 tons, comparable to the world's largest transport aircraft An- 124. A few years ago, Zhu Qian, the director of the China National Aerospace Industry Corporation's large aircraft office, also revealed that after the 200-ton large transport aircraft, the development of 300-ton, 400-ton, and even 600-ton large transport aircraft would gradually advance.

China's 100th anniversary aircraft
If it was referring to the aircraft in the air echelon flight celebration performance at the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were 15 J- 20 fighters divided into three 5-machine wedge teams flying over Tianamen Square. The J- 20 was a new generation of stealth fighter jets made in China. Since its first flight in 2011, it had attracted public attention. It had been displayed in different periods such as 2016, 2017, and 2019. The 15 aircraft in the same frame during the celebration of the founding of the Party in 2021 highlighted the importance of accelerating the formation of the new combat force of the Air Force.

China's aircraft carrier development
The development of China's aircraft carrier began in the late 1990s, starting from the purchase and transformation of the "Varyag" into the era of aircraft carriers. In 2012, China's first aircraft carrier, the " Liao Ning ", entered service, laying the foundation for the construction of aircraft carriers. In 2017, the domestic aircraft carrier "Shandong" entered service, bringing China's aircraft carrier development to a new stage. Now that the Fujian ship had also undergone sea trials, the China aircraft carrier fleet had expanded to three. In the process of development, not only did the number of aircraft carriers gradually increase, but the technology and combat capabilities related to aircraft carriers also continued to develop. For example, the successful development and service of the J- 15 carrier aircraft gave the aircraft carrier a more complete combat establishment. At the same time, the development speed of China's aircraft carriers exceeded Western expectations. Although the Fujian ship was a conventional power carrier, it was equipped with electromagnetic launch technology, which was a great advantage in technology. Regarding future development, there is news that China plans to build more aircraft carriers in the next decade. According to military analysis, it may develop to the scale of six or eleven aircraft carriers. These two sizes have strategic significance. The configuration of six aircraft carriers can meet strategic needs and avoid waste of resources. It can ensure maritime hegemony in Southeast Asia, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and other sea areas, maintain sea control over Taiwan, the South China Sea and other disputed areas, and also improve the combat capability of carrier aircraft. The 11 aircraft carriers represent a more ambitious global strategy that can enhance combat capabilities on a global scale and respond to security challenges in the global strategic environment, but it also faces huge technical, economic, and personnel management challenges. Although there were many discussions about whether the Type 004 aircraft carrier was a next-powered aircraft carrier, it was still unknown.
