There are many interesting facts about INS Vikrant but the most important among them is that it is fully designed and manufactured in India. INS Vikrant was commissioned by PM at Cochin Shipyard Limited. At the same time, a new sign or flag for Indian Navy was also integrated which will become a heritage of the country’s naval development and play a key role in the enhancement of the power of the Indian Navy with a very new form of Energy.

In another way, we can say that this is a big move In the field of self-reliance. Ins Vikrant is full of interesting facts but some top ten facts among them are following
#1. Specific Length And Bread
We all know that aircraft having larger lengths and breadths are capable of carrying more and more capacity and loads more and more aircraft. With its 262 metres length and 62 metres breadth, INS Vikrant is capable of carrying around 24 000 tons of material at one time. It also carries around 6 fighter planes on its runway. The larger the length of the larger runway of an aircraft carrier the most powerful it is. And INS VIKRANT has both a larger runway and the most powerful aircraft carrier. The use of its longer length and breadth is also one of the most important things about this aircraft because the way each and every inch of this aircraft is taken in use is very important and one of the most important features of this aircraft.
3. HIGH SPEED
Despite having a huge length and breadth INS VIKRANT run with a maximum speed of 28 knots which is around 7500 nautical miles which is very good speed despite having such huge in length and breadth. We all know that the higher the speed an aircraft carrier has the higher it reaches its destination in the situation of war or emergency and INS VIKSRANT is capable to reach any destination in a very short span of time. The speed of an aircraft also helps it in the smooth landing of aircraft so with this 42 nautical miles speed the INS VIKRANT has one of the top class runways which helps any flighter plane to smooth landing and takeoff.
Warriors Carrying Capacity
Above we all know that INS VIKRANT is capable of carrying around 42 000 tons of loads with an average speed of 42 nautical miles. On top of that, it also carries around 1 500 sea warriors and 10 000 riots at one time. Under this aircraft the kitchen facility for the warriors and riots is available. These numbers become more important because if you compare it with its length and breadth then these are very long numbers because they have also a world-class runway and many more things like a 30-bed hospital so this is also an important thing about this aircraft.
Floating City
The other name of INS VIKRANT is floating city and this is because it has 18 floors, 16 desks and 72 000 compartments which show the huge capacity of INS VIKRANT.

100% Indigenous Air Craft Carrier
From design to manufacturing all work done in India by itself that one of the most important interesting facts that make this air Craft a brand for Make IN India or India self-reliable in its Defence equipment and manufacturing.
