A gravity assist, gravity assist maneuver, swing-by, or generally a gravitational slingshot in orbital mechanics, is a type of spaceflight flyby which makes use of the relative movement (e.g. orbit around the Sun) and gravity of a planet or other astronomical object to alter the path and speed of a spacecraft, typically to save propellant and reduce expense.
Artillery Simulator: B. Goodson: APPII: Goodson version dated 10/1/80. No date or credit on earlier version that asks for bags of gunpowder instead of force. 1980? Ballistics: unknown: APPII: No date or name. Adaption of early Artillery Simulator for joystick control. 1980: Super Artillery: Greg Stein, Rainy City Software: APPII: MICRO, August ...
The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is a type of electromagnetic catapult system developed by General Atomics for the United States Navy. The system launches carrier-based aircraft by means of a catapult employing a linear induction motor rather than the conventional steam piston , providing greater precision and faster recharge ...
F/A-18 attached to steam catapult preparatory to launch. A well-known type of assisted takeoff is an aircraft catapult. In modern systems fitted on aircraft carriers, a piston, known as a shuttle, is propelled down a long cylinder under steam pressure. The aircraft is attached to the shuttle using a tow bar or launch bar mounted to the nose ...
Take-off options: Hand launch, bungee, catapult, vertical transition (for VTOL planes). Landing options: Adjustable glide slope, helical, reverse thrust, net, vertical transition (for VTOL planes). Auto-tuning, simulation with JSBSIM , X-Plane and RealFlight simulators.
Catapult C Synthesis, a commercial electronic design automation product of Mentor Graphics, is a high-level synthesis tool, sometimes called algorithmic synthesis or ESL synthesis. Catapult C takes ANSI C / C++ and SystemC inputs [ 1 ] and generates register transfer level (RTL) code targeted to FPGAs and ASICs .
A mass driver or electromagnetic catapult is a proposed method of non-rocket spacelaunch which would use a linear motor to accelerate and catapult payloads up to high speeds. Existing and proposed mass drivers use coils of wire energized by electricity to make electromagnets , though a rotary mass driver has also been proposed. [ 1 ]
