Russia EMALS catapult project

[Arzamas 16]

As Russia began to develop electromagnetic catapults for aircraft carriers. On this, as reported by ITAR -TASS, said CEO Nevsky Design Bureau Sergey Vlasov . According to him , the name of " an organization that is engaged in the creation of an electromagnetic catapult ", while not disclosed.

Exactly how much time it will take to complete the project electromagnetic aircraft launcher is difficult to say . "The problem is that Americans have worked on this for over ten years . They are his first electromagnetic catapult only in 2016 will be installed on new aircraft carrier " Gerald Ford " », ─ Vlasov said , noting that such a trigger will allow some to simplify the design of the ship due to failure , for example, the nuclear installation .

Most likely, the Russian electromagnetic catapult test will be carried out on one of the ground-based simulators in Eyske deck aircraft or in the Crimea. Electromagnetic catapult is a linear induction motor , which by means of a special truck allows you to overclock the aircraft to lift-off speed . In the USSR, such developments were not conducted .

Currently, the U.S. is the only country in the world, having a working prototype of an electromagnetic catapult. She wears EMALS designation and will be installed on promising American carriers such as " Gerald Ford ." It is believed that China has also experienced an electromagnetic catapult , but its existence is not officially confirmed.

In early July 2013 Krylovskiy State Scientific Center rated the project development perspective Russian aircraft carrier to 400 billion rubles, of which 80 billion ─ directly cost carrier. As expected, the design of the new ship will be completed in 2018 , four years later than planned earlier period. Displacement aircraft carrier will be about 80,000 tons.

Serving the state armaments program for 2011-2020 Russian design and construction of a new aircraft carrier was not prescribed. However, the funds for the project may be included in the new state armaments program for 2016-2025 - th . It is expected that this document will be presented to the President of Russia in 2015.

If they succeed in doing so, we should opt for it and use it on INS Vishal.

Better still, would be to get involved in the development work; as a JV project or something like that. Will be good for the Russians, since development costs can be shared and eventually the client base will be expanded, since the Russians will not have a bulk requirement for it by themselves.
