About this video
This ‘tiny’ carrier launches heavier jets than bigger ships.
France’s French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle may be smaller than many modern aircraft carriers, but it has a powerful advantage—catapult launch systems. Unlike ski-jump carriers, it can launch fully loaded fighter jets like the Dassault Rafale M with more fuel and weapons.
This gives it greater range, strike power, and battlefield control. Combined with nuclear propulsion and advanced radar aircraft, this “small” carrier punches far above its size.
