Electromag launch paired with a ski-jump..?
that seems counterintuitive to me.
Preparing for the introduction of new technology at future Winter Olympic Games....
Who says military technology cannot be turned to civilian applications?
Electromag launch instead of a ski-jump. The pictures above are of the Liaoning, the current ex-Soviet carrier.
Not rally. Think of it as a EM launcher, but less powerful than the US EMALS. So if it’s able to deliver 50% of the launch force as EMALS that still leaves the aircraft and ship ramp with the other 50%. But even at 50% the launcher has a huge load, range or endurance advantage over their current carrier.
