Modeling and simulation for dynamic system of electromagnetic aircraft launch

Electromagnetic catapult launch tends to be equipped on future carrier deck gradually. This paper aims to establish the mathematical representation of the system of electromagnetic aircraft launch considering aspects of carrier, aircraft and electromagnetic catapult. The proposed catapult system is evaluated by conducted simulation considering disturbance of deck wind and ground effect during stroke process and disturbance of wind ahead of carrier bow during flight process. The modeling approach of the system of electromagnetic aircraft launch is of significance for safety and efficiency of aircraft-carrier system.
