On May 24th, according to relevant media reports, the current catapult aircraft carrier Fujian is stepping up its trials. 

     So, what is so remarkable about this catapult aircraft carrier, and what advantages does it have over conventional aircraft carriers? It is reported that the catap aircraft carrier can take off with full fuel and ammunition, which is equivalent to directly enhancing the combat capability of the aircraft. At the same time, catapult take-off can enable the aircraft carrier to have the ability to carry fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft, thereby greatly enhancing the aircraft carrier's early warning and detection capabilities, as as its air situation guarantee and command and dispatch capabilities for carrier-based aircraft. In addition, the electromagnetic catapult can also easily control the catapult force, allowing various of aircraft, from large transport aircraft and early warning aircraft to small drones, to take off from the aircraft carrier in a catapult manner, making the aircraft carrier's combat more flexible. Let's focus on it. The Fujian ship adopts electromagnetic catapult technology. Next, let's talk about the electromagnetic catapult system detail. The electromagnetic catapult system uses a linear motor under the flight deck of the aircraft carrier to catapult carrier-based aircraft. The core device of the electromagnetic catault is the linear motor, which drives the armature connected to the aircraft. Compared with the traditional steam catapult, the electromagnetic catapult has the advantages of small volume low requirements for auxiliary systems on the ship, high efficiency, light weight, and low operation and maintenance costs. It is one of the core technologies of future aircraft carriers. For example the USS Ford launched by the US in 2013 uses a linear motor electromagnetic catapult. 

      With the rapid development of linear motors, they are gradually beingused in the military field, such as electromagnetic catapults, military target ranges, and military simulation systems.
