Still arguing uselessly, this time using a CG rather than an actual photo as if someone's drawing trumps pictorial evidence.

Now didn't you say the width of the well deck of type 71 is 16 m
Now we know where is it come from
Or the skirt is not deflated when the ramp is lower

This is picture below is fully inflated Now how can you possibly lower the ramp without deflating the skirt? Because the ramp is behind the skirt.

Now you know where it comes from? Listen technical genius, I already showed you where it came from. From one of the photos that YOU provided, allowing me to make direct measurements of the width of the well deck. BTW, a measurement that you made a 'mistake' on to try and make it look wider than it actually was.

I already told you the front skirt does not have to part of the same compartment as the side skirts, but I guess you would rather just ignore anything that doesn't go along with your narrative. BTW, these photos here are EVEN MORE damning of your laughable claim that your original 726 photo showed deflated side skirts.

LOL You are the one that that make mistake not me Check this one out and maybe bring a thick eye glass too. You measure the green line which is wrong. The correct one is the red line Because it is perspective picture. Using 16m wide well deck it is impossible for type 726 to get in and out as the beam is 16.8m

Now you change your tune after realizing that you make gross mistake nice! Yes it is deflated sideway because it has to lower the deck and allow the ramp to hit the ground. that is why it is all crumpled up and not taut Now is that clear. See how tall and taut the side skirt is in full inflated condition

The green line is CORRECT because it measures the narrowest part of the well deck. The left end of the green line matches with the right end of the green line because they are at the same part of the well deck. It is NOT a matter of "perspective". You can easily realize this if you drop the green line all the way to the floor keeping everything else the same. I don't know if you are playing the fool on purpose or if you really don't understand what's going on in your own photos. Either way you are just shooting yourself in the foot over and over and over in this thread. :)

Sorry, how exactly did I "change" my tune? I didn't change my tune just because you apparently don't understand English very well:

Notice how the side skirts your photo still has significant bulging on the sides while in my photo the sides are ACTUALLY completely deflated. Should I start laughing now or are you just going to start running away and save me the trouble? BTW, a technical genius like you should have noticed LONG ago that the front skirt is actually compartmentalized from the side skirts, so that the side skirts can remain inflated while the front skirt is deflated. Actually I'm pretty sure the side skirts are also compartmentalized; this would make total sense from a damage control point of view. Puncturing of one skirt compartment (e.g. by enemy bullets) will still allow adjacent skirts to remain functional. I also think it's pathetic that you are trying to rely on another poster's speculation in order to reinforce your own. Nothing against Kwai and his "Mark 1 eyeball", but an eyeball estimate doesn't hold a candle to an actual ruler. You need to face the fact that you are just utterly wrong on so many fronts here that it should be painfully obvious to you by now.

China Launches Production of Type 726A Small Landing Ships Equivalent to US LCAC

Beijing has launched mass production of the Type 726A small landing ships, which are equivalent to the US Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC).

information website reported, citing a satellite image, dated by December 19, 2016, which shows the China’s Jiangnan Changxing shipyard, located near Shanghai.

Yellow squares on the satellite image mark places of construction of four Type 726A small landing ships, which are clones of the American LCAC amphibious assault ships.
The Type 726 ships, which were built earlier, are equipped with the UGT 6000 gas-turbine engines, produced by the JSC ‘Sumy Frunze NPO’. The new Type 726A ships got the Chinese QC-70 gas-turbine engines (an alteration of the WS-10 aircraft engine), which differ from the

engines with their low noise and vibration.

The Type 726/726A is capable to carrying up to 60 tons of equipment. Its maximum range is 320 km which is enough to cross the Taiwan Strait at speeds up to 80 km per hour one way, if disregarding the situation at sea.

In total,

plans to build twelve Type 726/726A small landing ships, four of which are already in service, while four others are under construction.

Hehehe...mas pridcutions of what? 12 craft?

Sorry, that's a joke.

They have produced only four in over 8 years.

There is obviously something seriously wrogn with their design and they seem unable to fix it.

The Type 071 was clearly designed for a LCAC type craft and the Chinese produced on. Of course the LPD can carry other craft as well, but an OTH attack using LCAC is a critical part of the philosophy of the LPD force.

Each of their LPDs can carry four LCAC. To date, with four LPDs they have only four LCAC.

Ultimately they plan 6 LOPDs and should have a minimum of 24 LCAC to accomodate them...they actually need more for training, repairs, replacements, etc.

If they are now saying they are only going to produce 12 LCAC, then that's a max of two per vessel with no spares for maintenance, breakdowns, loss, etc.

I expect at some point the PLAN will solve its LCAC problem.

When they do, for their six LPDs I expect a force of about 30 LCACs which would give them spares, and replacements, as well as allow for a full surge at any time.

But those are just my thoughts.

I have to say it has been a disappointment to see the LAN l;anguish so much on this LCAC issue.

Just because you are using pixel ruler and using wrong view doesn't make you right or expert unless you have basic in design and drafting which obviously you do not posses. You are using perspective picture to take measurement and wrongly assume point in perspective picture as the shortest distance. Another thing those wrong perspective point is midway of the well height which the skirt will never ever touch another fallacy

And you didn't answer my question how you reconcile the publish 726 beam of 16.8 with your calculated well width of 16 m using your green line I am waiting

I am correct when I use the red line.It result in well width of 17.5m It jive well with the published dimension beam of 16.8 for type 726 from manufacturer brochure drawing which is layout(plan view) drawing and it is to scale so it is not CGI

Ever heard of GIGO (garbage in garbage out) that is exactly what you did
It is rather pathetic when someone with no technical training try to pose as an expert.You never use perspective to make measurement that is the drafting 101

Jeff you did read the previous pages Yes there is something wrong with the Ukrainian Gas turbine that they used in the first 4 prototype because of noise and low vibration They have to wait until QC70 mature which is domestic gas turbine based on WS 10 core

They now solve all the problem and can now resume with serial production of Type 726
The main function of Type 726 is to transport the main battle tank as the ZBD series amphibious APC use high speed water jet and doesn't need type 726 to carry it over the horizon.
It would be more beneficial to carry more APC than Type 726 inside type 71 hull

Hey technical genius, the green line that I drew in your photo is at the BOTTOM of the well deck, not "midway". You have this curious habit of making dishonest comments based off of obviously FALSE premises and then running with it as if you have any kind of point. The green lines (both yours and mine) are in fact correct because both of them touch the end of the narrowest part of the well deck, whereas you deliberately exaggerate the width by running your line far into the starboard end where it obviously passes the narrow part of the end of the well deck and into the area that the ramp uses when folded up. It is NOT a "perspective" problem just because you erroneously claim it is.

And you didn't answer my question how you reconcile the publish 726 beam of 16.8 with your calculated well width of 16 m using your green line I am waiting

I think it's pretty sad when you are trying to use a fanboi CG as "publish 726 beam". Even someone like you must understand deep down that an online CG is meaningless as an authority, unless you really are that thick. It's about as desperately humorous as appealing to someone's mark 1 eyeball as an authority. So no, I don't need to "answer" your "question" about the "publish" 726 beam because that CG has about as much authority as YOU do. You further make yourself look bad by backing this CG because the dimensions of the USN LCAC are actually WRONG; we DO have "publish" LCAC beam figures that are authoritative. :)

Well, I hope they have solved the problems and put out more LCAC for the Chinese LPDs.

The LCAC is a critical tool. My guess it has a longer range, and can also carry more types of equipment, including the MBT.

It is clear (at least to me) that the Chinese designed their LPD to utilize LCACs of their own design. Now, I am hoping that we will now see more prduction.

But I still maintain that 12 is not really a "mass" production. They should build like 30 of them.

We shall see.
