AirCarrier Yggdrasil
Flying-Wing Blimp AirCarrier Monstrosity.
Concept is lighter than air aerogel lifting cells, metal foam and aerated metals for hull and skin, and nuclear powered electroaerodynamic propulsion (ignore the turbojets, they're purely decorative).
Can't take off, too big, start in the air. Flies nice and stable. Extremely stable... Can barely turn. I haven't managed to actually land a plane on it, but I've bounced wheels off it many times trying.
I tried to get the elevators to work and failed, had to make them static again. I've reached the limit of my skill in getting it this far, really I have almost no idea what I'm doing. So feel free to modify it to your hearts content and upload improved versions! Could do with vtol takeoff, working carrier functions like elevators, point defense guns, icbm launchers, arresting gear (if it's even possible?). Might be more practical reduced to 2 runways, but on the other hand it is just so gloriously monstrous with 4.
