OverviewDesign and developmentDelivery and deploymentAdvantagesCriticismsOperatorsOther developmentSee also

The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is a type of electromagnetic catapult system developed by General Atomics for the United States Navy. The system launches carrier-based aircraft by means of a catapult employing a linear induction motor rather than the conventional steam piston. EMALS was first installed on the lead ship of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier

Fujian vs. Ford: Can China''s New Aircraft Carrier Rival the U.S.

Many sources say that China''s EMALS technology is more advanced and more reliable than the system used on the U.S. Navy''s aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford. Maybe this has something to do with the America now is infested with lots of big-mouth low iq indian "engineers" instead of oversea Chinese...

The electromagnetic rail aircraft launch system, Pt 1: Objectives …

A: EMALS uses an electromagnetic "rail gun" to launch/arrest aircraft. After delays of between five and twenty years (depending on how you look at the schedule) it''s closer to becoming a reality, and is installed on the carrier Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) which was "commissioned" in 2017 but will not be operational until sometime between ...
