The ship is pointed bow out. It will be the first time in 60-years that we have shot something off a ship using something other than a steam catapult,\u201d said Rear Adm. Thomas Moore, Program Executive Officer, Carriers.<\/p>\n<p>The brand new EMALS\u00a0system, which uses an electromagnetic field to propel aircraft instead of the steam catapult, is slated for the new Ford-class aircraft carriers. The first EMALS\u00a0system has been under construction for lots of\u00a0years aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford, or CVN 78, the first in class of the new carriers expected to be delivered to the Navy next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo of the four catapults are completely built. The other two are almost built,\u201d Moore said.<span id=\"more-24695\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the ship, the below-deck EMALS equipment has been already installed and ready. This includes\u00a0a series of transformers and rectifiers specially designed to convert and store electrical power through a series of motor generators before brining power to the launch motors on the catapults, Moore explained.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2619\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/EMALS-490x367.jpg\"><img data-opt-id=762807800  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2619\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2619\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:490\/h:367\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/EMALS-490x367.jpg\" alt=\"The inside of the EMALS system!\" width=\"490\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:490\/h:367\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/EMALS-490x367.jpg 490w, https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:225\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/EMALS-490x367.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The inside of the EMALS system!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBy having this electrical pulse come down, you are pulling the aircraft down to the catapult to launch it. You can dial in the precise weight of the aircraft. As you accelerate the aircraft down the catapult, you can accelerate it to the precise speed it needs to launch,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike old steam catapults, which use pressurized steam, a launch valve and a piston to catapult aircraft off the carrier, EMALS uses a precisely determined amount of electrical energy. As a result, EMALS is designed to more smoothly launch aircraft while reducing stress and wear and tear on the airframes themselves, he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time the aircraft gets to the catapult it is at the perfect\u00a0speed. Minimizing stress on the airframe, over time, reduces maintenance,\u201d Moore added.<\/p>\n<p>On the ship, EMALS will be engineered such that any of the ship\u2019s four catapults will be able to withdraw power from any one of the three energy storage groups on the ship, he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg\"><img data-opt-id=882127416  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2391\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg\" alt=\"Mission successfully completed!\" width=\"1600\" height=\"944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:1600\/h:944\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:177\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:453\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:604\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/01\/Air-Craft-Carrier-Landing.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the catapult troughs for the USS Ford\u2019s EMALS system were being built and integrated with the overall system, the system\u2019s technology has been in the process of extensive testing at a Naval Air Warfare Center facility in Lakehurst, N.J.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe testing has allowed us to stay ahead of the curve and identify issues in advance of installing it on the rest of the ships,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>Ship integration and testing for the\u00a0EMALS\u00a0technology will mark a substantial milestone in a program which, until now, has widely\u00a0been conducting ground-based flight tests at the Navy facility in Lakehurst, N.J., Moore explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs things get connected they will increase the number of tests. The first aircraft launch will be after the ship gets to sea. We\u2019ve conducted 452 aircraft launches and just finished up our second phase of aircraft compatibility testing,\u201d Capt. Jim Donnelly, program manager for aircraft launch and recovery equipment, told Military\u200b.com in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been making component deliveries to the ship (USS Ford) in Newport News since 2011. It started early because for EMALS, some of the equipment such as the motor-generators are lower in the ship so they had to be part of the super-lift early on,\u201d Donnelly added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/F18E-Carrier-Launch.jpg\"><img data-opt-id=995410751  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/F18E-Carrier-Launch.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2620\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"F18E-Carrier-Launch\" width=\"490\" height=\"306\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:490\/h:306\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/F18E-Carrier-Launch.jpg 490w, https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:187\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/03\/F18E-Carrier-Launch.jpg 300w\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Metal decking is slated to be placed over the trough on the flight deck. Special Cabling and linear induction motor sections have been installed on board the USS Ford already.<\/p>\n<p>The linear motors are engineered to help in creating a sequentially activated rolling magnetic field or wave able to thrust or propel aircraft forward, Donnelly explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the same type of technology that you see in a rollercoaster except this one is designed for critical launch reliability. It has to work every time you press the launch button. You are getting an electromagnetic field by turning on linear motor sequentially so we don\u2019t energize the whole field in one shot,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The electromagnetic field acts on a large 22-foot long aluminum plate, he added. The aluminium plate runs in between stationary sections of 12-foot long linear motors. Electricity runs swiftly through the two sides of the motors, creating an electromagnetic wave, Donnelly explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe aircraft motors are kicked in at the beginning. There\u2019s a hydraulic piston that pushes a shuttle forward. The shuttle is what connects to the aircraft launch bar,\u201d Donnelly said.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0EMALS\u00a0system can adjust to different aircraft weights and configurations, Donnelly said.\u00a0\u00a0For example,\u00a0EMALS\u00a0is configured such that it could launch a lighter weight aircraft, such as an unmanned aircraft system, he added.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly useful because the amount of thrust needed to launch an aircraft depends upon a range of interwoven factors to include size, shape and weight of the aircraft, wind speed on the carrier deck and the speed of the aircraft carrier in the water, Donnelly said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEMALS\u00a0better supports the air wing now and in the future. As you may know we\u2019ve changed the make-up of the carrier wing over the years. We\u2019re getting to an air wing that requires higher energy launches and\u00a0EMALS\u00a0is much more capable when it comes to higher launch energy requirements,\u201d Donnelly said.<\/p>\n<p>The USS Ford is able to quickly generate 13,800 volts of electrical power, more than three times the 4,160 volts that a Nimitz-class carrier generates, Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>The EMALS system is also engineered to work in tandem with the USS Ford\u2019s new Advanced Arresting Gear, or AAG. Unlike the existing hydraulic system used on current aircraft carriers, AAG is a mechanical electrical system with a cable that spins a\u00a0water\u00a0twister, Moore explained.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the EMALS, the AAG is also designed to reduce stress on the airframe during the landing process, Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>[CSSBUTTON target=&#8221;http:\/\/www.migflug.com\/en&#8221; color=&#8221;#F22F2C&#8221;]Book your own Jet Flight Now![\/CSSBUTTON]<\/p>\n<p>Additional readings &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"What it\u2019s like to fly close air support against IS militants.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.migflug.com\/jetflights\/what-its-like-to-fly-close-air-support-against-is-militants.html\">What it&#8217;s like to fly CAS with IS militants<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Airbus A400M Atlas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.migflug.com\/jetflights\/the-a400m-atlas.html\">The A400M &#8211; Atlas<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The top 7 weirdest bombs and missiles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.migflug.com\/jetflights\/the-top-7-weirdest-bombs-and-missiles.html\">The 7 weirdest bombs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Author &#8211; Jake Meilak<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Navy is getting ready\u00a0to launch the first ship-board tests of a new Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System designed to replace steam catapults and propel fighter jets and other aircraft off the deck of an aircraft carrier, service officials said. \u201cIn June, we\u2019ll start shooting dead loads into the James River.
