The EMALS uses a linear induction motor (LIM), which uses alternating current (AC) to generate magnetic fields that propel a carriage along a track to launch the aircraft. [5] [6] The EMALS consists of four main elements: [7] The linear induction motor consists of a row of stator coils with the same function as the circular stator coils in a conventional induction motor.
An electromagnetic catapult, also called EMALS ("electromagnetic aircraft launch system") after the specific US system, is a type of aircraft launching system. Currently, only the United States and China have successfully developed it, and it is installed on the Gerald R. Ford -class aircraft carriers and the Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian .

The United States and China completed the development of electromagnetic catapult to launch carrier-based aircraft using a linear motor drive instead of steam. The electromagnetic catapult is found on the American Gerald R. Ford-class carriers (the electromagnetic aircraft launch system) [6] and the Chinese carrier Fujian.
The following chart shows the number of launch systems developed in each country, and broken down by operational status. Rocket variants are not distinguished; i.e., the Atlas V series is only counted once for all its configurations 401–431, 501–551, 552, and N22.
