Thinking and Study of Electromagnetic Launch Technology

The use of electromagnetic launch (EML) technology in the future launching mode is an inevitable trend. Based on the analysis of the common characters of EML technology, this paper presents the status of three technological branches such as EM aircraft launch, EM rail gun, EM thrust launch, and discusses some concrete problems and related research achievements in detail. Furthermore, clues and important points proposed in this paper will provide valuable reference for developing EML technology.
