Type001A supposed to be bigger than CV-16.

I don't think so ... from the external dimensions we see so far it is an exact Liaoning-equivalent.

It maybe longer by few metres but with brand new internal design w/o the missile canister, it shall have a far more roomy hangar and space.

According to insiders, its displacement is a few thousand tons bigger with better optimized hanger bay and flight deck.

Can we put a catapult on the ski jump section of the carrier?

No, but maybe in angle deck. For launching AWACS or max loaded J-15.

Still working on the new model...

Just noticed, they did not only add another segment on the front but also simultaneously another one on the flight deck.

I don't now if catapult on the ski jump will severe Human body or aircraft structure but the advantage to combine both catapult and ski jump together is undeniable, I believe that is the most effective way to propulse aircraft our of the deck., in case of catapult failure, the aircraft can still use it own engine for normal take off.

The clearest photo todate. The cables are gone, meaning the module blocks are firmly in place. Next will be more blocks to be hoisted to their respected places??? Credit to the Big Cat fzgfzy of CJDBY.

6 large fabricated module blocks has been spotted laying in the yard, as in this color photo. And a large block for bow setion in the B/W photo.

And in this night scene photo, can you spot something related to 001A?
