Q

how do steam catapults work

on Nimitz carriers* 2 cylinders that run the length of a football field* high pressure steam is ported into the cylinders forcing the pistn down the cylinder at a high rate of speed = slinging the aircraft off the flight deck

Q

how does the EMALS catapult system work

A

uses a linear motor drive in place of the steam pistons.* electric current generates a magnetic field that propels a carriage downt eh cat track* gradual accel so less stress on airframes* more precise control of launch performance so it can launch a greater variety of aircraft compared to the traditional steam catapults (includign unmanned)

Q

state of the JBD when in use

A

when an aircraft is positioned on the catapult for launch, the JBD will be raised by several hydraulic cylinders. when it is raised, hot exhaust from launching aircraft wiill be directed upwards*so another aircraft can go in position behind it and deck personnel can do pre-launch checks/inspections w/o danger of hot jet exhaust
