Explanation: Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS):

  • It is a catapult system which helps to provide the extra push to aircraft.
  • Once the catapult is released, the aircraft attached to the catapult moves forward with great speed in a short time, which helps it to gain the speed required to take-off before it reaches the end of the runway of the aircraft carrier.
  • Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) was first developed by the U.S. Navy.
