Seems a bit over-teched for today’s planes. Maybe in the future with much heavier aircraft it will be practical.

I hope they are smart enough to protect it and the controlling equipment from EMP.

You'll never guess who pioneered this technology:
Disney. A few years ago Walt Disney Imagineering was looking to find a way to make a rollercoaster that took up less space. The answer was replacing that first big hill(and the space it took up) with an electromagnetic launch system. It launced a fully loaded set of cars from 0 to 60 Mph in 4 seconds. The two Disney coasters that use this system are "Aerosmith's rockin rollercoaster" in Orlando and "California screamin' " in Anaheim.
