A Research on Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch

  • Unique Paper ID: 189520
  • Volume: 12

  • PageNo: 7176-7184
  • Abstract:
  • The design and development of an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), a cutting-edge and effective substitute for conventional steam catapult systems, is presented in this study. During launch, conventional steam catapults put a lot of mechanical strain on aircraft and are heavy and energy-intensive. EMALS, on the other hand, uses linear electromagnetic propulsion to provide more energy-efficient, smooth, and precisely controlled acceleration. Neodymium magnets, aluminium structural frames, ABS holders, and Li-Po batteries are used in the study's mathematical modelling, simulation analysis, and prototype construction. Both manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications can benefit from the proposed system's increased operational flexibility, reduced maintenance needs, and improved efficiency. All things considered; this work advances next-generation aeroplane launch technologies.
