The purpose of this invention is to launch an airfoil by piloting it through a conducting coil. The conducting coil has emitters that release waves with constant properties. The airfoil has detectors that observe the waves. Since the airfoil is moving, the detector's observations will vary depending on the velocity and position of the airfoil. These observations are used to pilot the airfoil through the coil.
