Part 4/13:
- The space behind the island and the left side of the runway are less efficient, relying heavily on ground crew and creating bottlenecks.
In comparing the Fujen to US carriers, the US Ford class can fit 22 aircraft in its triangle zone—capacious and efficient—while the Fujen's comparable space accommodates only 11 aircraft due to structural constraints. These limitations arise from the placement of the island, a large conventional smoke stack that cannot be moved, and a catapult system that intrudes into the deck zone. As a result, the deck's usable space is severely restricted, impairing operational throughput.
