[1] A catapult uses the sudden release of stored potential energy to propel its payload.

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.
The catapult used on aircraft carriers consists of a track or slot built into the flight deck, below which is a large piston or shuttle that is attached through the track to the nose gear of the aircraft, or in some cases a wire rope, called a catapult bridle, is attached to the aircraft and the catapult shuttle.
A slingshot or catapult is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. The classic form consists of a Y-shaped frame, with two tubes or strips made from either a natural rubber or synthetic elastic material. These are attached to the upper two ends. The other ends of the strips lead back to a pouch that holds the projectile. One hand holds the ...
The catapult officer makes a final check of catapult settings, wind, etc. and gives the signal to launch. The catapult operator then pushes a button to fire the catapult. Once the catapult fires, the hold-back breaks free as the shuttle moves rapidly forward, dragging the aircraft by the launch bar.
