Abstract: The construction of small-scale aircraft carrier models is an engineering project that is totally complex yet locally simple. The completed model should possess structural and hydrodynamic performance characteristics similar to those of a real aircraft carrier， which poses significant challenges to undergraduate-level designers and builders. This project takes the Chinese Navy’s Type 003 aircraft carrier， the Fujian ship， as the prototype to design and construct an aircraft carrier teaching experimental platform. The scale ratio between the model ship and the actual vessel is approximately 1∶144. This work is of great significance for the popularization of science in ocean engineering.

Key words: aircraft carrier, teaching experimental platform, marine engineering education, model ship construction
