DOI: 10.1109/tps.2017.2697941
Abstract: The engine size of modern passenger transport aircraft is principally determined by take-off conditions, since initial acceleration requires maximum engine power. An electromagnetic launch (EML) system could provide some or all of the energy required… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tps.2019.2907121
Abstract: In the process of electromagnetic launch, the initial contact pressure distribution of armature/rail (A/R) contacts interface is uneven, and the actual contact area is obviously different from the perfect contact. The uneven contact pressure leads… read more here.
