Fujian ship electromagnetic catapult, where is the cow?

2025-09-26   

The J-15T, J-35, and KJ-600 carrier based aircraft have successfully completed their first catapult takeoff and landing training on the Fujian ship, thanks to the electromagnetic catapult technology behind them. So, where exactly is this technology? The Type III carrier based aircraft completed their first catapult takeoff and landing training on the Fujian ship. Without electromagnetic catapult technology, even the most advanced fighter jets on board cannot take off with full fuel and ammunition, and cannot fly far or hit hard. With electromagnetic catapults, it's like 'two heavens'. Simply put, electromagnetic catapults have high thrust, efficiency, and can accurately control the force of the catapult. Our carrier based aircraft can achieve short takeoff, rapid deployment, and can also be loaded with fuel and ammunition. Moreover, they can efficiently deploy aircraft ranging from 30 ton heavy-duty fighters to 100 kilogram drones. Taking off more and faster fighter jets per unit of time increases the chances of winning. Electromagnetic catapults not only allow us to win by quantity. The KJ-600 has a slow takeoff speed and was originally unable to board the ship. With electromagnetic catapults, it can also accompany the ship to battle. This has added a pair of keen eyes, a pair of windward ears, and an aerial brain to the already dazzling aircraft carrier battle group, so that no enemy can escape when they come to attack. Not only are their ears more sharp and their eyes clearer, but their fists are also harder. Electromagnetic catapults enable the J-35 and J-15T "two brothers" to achieve efficient coordinated attacks, greatly enhancing the dual capabilities of stealth penetration and saturation strike of aircraft carrier formations, and maximizing the combat capabilities of carrier based aircraft. This also means that the Chinese Navy's "aircraft carrier five piece set" has been basically completed and formed. This is obviously crucial for our navy to achieve strategic transformation from coastal defense to offshore defense. How advanced is Fujian ship's electromagnetic catapult technology? The electromagnetic catapult on board the Fujian ship is independently designed, developed, and manufactured by China, and is a world-class core equipment for aircraft carriers. The electromagnetic catapult on the Ford class nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the United States has a completely different approach and technological path. Moreover, according to public reports, the reliability of the electromagnetic catapult system on the Fujian ship is much more reliable than that of the Fuzhou class. Technically speaking, it requires the release of enormous energy in a very short period of time, with extremely high demands on the energy and power density of the energy storage device. This is equivalent to nearly 70000 air conditioners running at maximum power simultaneously, but this energy only lasts for 2-3 seconds, releasing and calming instantly. Accurate management and output of energy are necessary. The act of 'taking action' should not be taken lightly, but should be handled with ease. Faced with strong winds, erosion and other marine environments for a long time, such a precise motor must be very reliable. Come and fight, fight and win. It must be done at all times! (New Society)
