The present invention relates to a vehicle launching, and more particularly to an improved pneumatic system for launching aircraft. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved aircraft launching system wherein a longitudinally slotted pneumatic launch cylinder withstands distortion along the slot from the thrust pressure internal of the cylinder during operation, while retaining a degree of longitudinal flexibility so as to accommodate minor lateral movements of the launching mechanism during operation. Other objects are: to provide a launching system wherein the high-speed motion of the unlaunched moving mechanism is effectively dampened within a limited brake stroke so as to avoid damage to the system structure; and to provide an aircraft launcher which is lightweight and simple in construction, yet sturdy and reliable in operation.
