An electromagnetic catapult, also known as the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) when specifically referring to the system used by the United States Navy, is a type of aircraft catapult that uses a linear induction motor system, rather than the single-acting pneumatic cylinder (piston) system in conventional steam catapults.
Two technologies successfully developed for the electromagnetic catapult were Pulse Power, which controls the electromagnetic catapult's power requirements and ensures precise and dependable launches, and Linear Electric Machine, which produces the electromagnetic force required to launch aircraft.
Electromagnetic catapults have several advantages over their older, superheated steam -based counterparts.
Currently, only the United States and China have successfully developed electromagnetic catapults, which are installed on the Gerald R. Ford -class aircraft carriers (currently only the lead ship CVN-78 being operational), the Type 003 aircraft carrier Fujian and the upcoming Type 076 amphibious assault ship Sichuan (51).
The EMALS energy-storage system design accommodates this by drawing power from the ship during its 45-second recharge period and storing the energy kinetically using the rotors of four disk alternators; the system then releases that energy (up to 484 MJ) in 2–3 seconds.
Its main advantage is that it accelerates aircraft more smoothly, putting less stress on their airframes. Compared to steam catapults, the EMALS also weighs less, is expected to cost less and require less maintenance, and can launch both heavier and lighter aircraft than a steam piston-driven system.
