Abstract

The ability to use electromagnetic launch machines to propel objects has been discussed and researched by numerous engineers for decades. Recently it has become more realizable with advances in technology. In this paper, a conceptual system designs for aircraft launching system with a new configuration of outrunner electromagnetic launching mechanism based on coil gun principle is proposed and its performance is discussed for possible use as a catapult in the acceleration of aircraft. The proposed launching system is evaluated by conducted simulation and correlating with a numerical analysis based on the finite-element analysis.
