What does a helicopter landing spot mean in warship design?
Short answerA spot is a flight-deck position that can land or recover one helicopter at a time.
NotesA single spot allows one helicopter to land or be recovered at a time. Two spots permit two simultaneous landings or recoveries. The suggested cruiser combines four helicopters with two spots, so embarked aircraft numbers and simultaneous landing capacity are different measures. Four spots are possible in principle but require a very large flight deck.
