About this document
EMALS: Advanced Aircraft Launch System by Rikhil Yalamanchi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The EMALS system uses a linear induction motor and energy storage system to launch aircraft from carriers, providing a more gradual acceleration than steam-powered catapults. This reduces stress on aircraft. EMALS also uses less water and energy than steam systems. The U.S. Navy is developing EMALS to replace steam catapults, as EMALS is more precise in launch performance, efficient, and can provide higher launch energies. It will allow launching a wider variety of aircraft from future carriers.
