An 80-foot extension for the Invincible class

What would an 80-foot hull extension have done for the Invincible class?

The rough estimate is about 30 to 36 aircraft in a mixed group, with more room to arrange the hangar and other internal spaces.

An 80-foot extension is used to estimate how much more aviation space an Invincible-class carrier could gain. An approximately 80-foot-wide hangar section would add roughly 6,400 square feet, with the arithmetic corrected during the exchange. The estimated mixed air group reaches about 30 to 36 Harriers and helicopters, depending on the combination. Extra length would also permit a better internal arrangement. These are rough calculations made in conversation, without a completed layout or operating trial.
