Electromagnetic aircraft launching system (EMALS) is being pursued by various navies around the world to enable assisted take-off but arrested recovery of naval aircraft from aircraft carriers. Currently, either short take-off but arrested recovery (STOBAR) or steam-driven catapult assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR) is used. EMALS technology has the advantage of being able to provide smoother acceleration for the aircraft and reduced stress on their airframes along with being cheaper and requiring less maintenance in comparison with CATOBAR technology and unlike STOBAR technology, the aircraft is capable of carrying a full load of weapons, fuel, and additional avionics at the time of take-off. This paper presents a review by covering the various aspects such as design, cost, and reliability of EMALS system.
