This is how U.S. Navy fighter jets launch from aircraft carriers using a ship-mounted catapult system - and it's one of the most extreme accelerations humans regularly experience. In just about 3 seconds, the catapult slings the jet from 0 to nearly 300 mph, generating forces strong enough to... show more

BREAKING: China has carried out its first catapult-assisted launch and arrested landing drills aboard on an aircraft carrier. The Fujian is China’s 3rd aircraft carrier and first carrier with electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) catapults, which enable heavier payloads and higher sortie rates compared to the ski-jump ramps on its predecessors, Liaoning and Shandong. Footage shows J-15T and J-35 fighter jets taking off from the deck as well as KJ-600 AEW&C planes. The footage proves that China is now the second nation in the world (after the U.S.) operating an EMALS aircraft carrier. 🇨🇳🇺🇸

The future of warfare isn't coming....it's already here. The Northrop Grumman X-47B is a tailless stealth drone that launched, landed, taxied, and operated autonomously aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. First unmanned aircraft to catapult launch and trap aboard a carrier in 2013. Watch it taxi with the yellow shirts, launch into the blue, and operate seamlessly alongside crewed fighter jets. The age of autonomous carrier aviation began years ago... and most people still don't realize it. 📹:

‼️🇨🇳🇺🇸What’s the difference between China’s and the U.S.’s electromagnetic catapults? The J-35 is set to become the first fifth-generation fighter jet launched from an aircraft carrier using an electromagnetic catapult. Meanwhile, the USS Ford is still operating with F/A-18s. So how did China manage to figure out EMALS before the United States?

🇺🇸 Trump Wants to Bring Steam Power Back to America’s Newest Carriers President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. Navy to redesign the fourth Ford class carrier, Doris Miller, and future carriers around traditional steam catapults instead of EMALS, according to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal. The first three carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford, John F. Kennedy and Enterprise, will retain EMALS. Trump has repeatedly criticized the electromagnetic system as too complex and unreliable, arguing that steam catapults are more dependable. If implemented, the decision would mark a major technological reversal for the U.S. Navy and could cost billions of dollars due to the extensive redesign required. The future of America’s aircraft carriers may be going back to steam.

NEW: Aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) is catapulting objects into the James River in Virginia to test its plane launching capabilities. The footage was recently released by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), a ship building company. The Kennedy features an electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) which makes it just the 2nd US aircraft carrier to have this advanced system. The vehicles it launched in testing reached speeds of 150mph and experts estimate it will be able to launch jets at speeds of 240mph. The Kennedy was launched in 2019 and has a price tag of $11.3 billion.

"It takes only 2 seconds for carrier-based fighters to take off, but we have been waiting for this moment for 20 years." China disclosed close-up shots and an introduction of the electromagnetic catapult device on China’s Fujian 18 aircraft carrier. This core catapult system is fully self-designed, self-developed, and self-made by Chinese scientists from scratch without any technical reference.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 HOW HARD IS IT FOR IRAN TO HIT A U.S AIRCRAFT CARRIER? Critics love to call aircraft carriers sitting ducks. The argument sounds simple enough: a ship the size of a small city must be easy to find, easy to hit, and devastating to lose. In the age of hypersonic missiles and satellite surveillance, some analysts insist the carrier is already obsolete, but reality is far less dramatic. Aircraft carriers are not lonely targets drifting across the ocean. They operate inside one of the most sophisticated defensive systems ever built, something the U.S. Navy calls “defense in depth.” Think of it less like a single ship and more like a moving fortress. The first layer is the carrier strike group itself. Destroyers and cruisers surround the carrier, each equipped with the Aegis combat system, a network of radar and missiles capable of tracking hundreds of threats simultaneously. Incoming missiles can be intercepted hundreds of miles away, often long before the carrier itself is even in danger. The second layer lives in the sky. Aircraft like the E-2D Hawkeye patrol high above the fleet, acting as airborne radar stations that can spot low-flying missiles or enemy aircraft long before ship-based sensors could. If something suspicious appears, fighter jets such as F/A-18s or F-35s can intercept the threat before a shot is even fired. In other words, the battle is pushed far away from the carrier itself. If a missile somehow slips through those outer layers, electronic warfare becomes the next shield. Modern carriers can jam or confuse a missile’s guidance system, essentially blinding it or feeding it false information. Chaff clouds and flares create fake targets in the sky, turning the missile’s final seconds into a guessing game. Sometimes the missile never finds the ship at all. And then there is the last line of defense. Close-range interceptors like Sea Sparrow and Rolling Airframe Missiles can shoot down threats at the final moment. If everything else fails, the Phalanx close-in weapon system, a rapid-fire Gatling gun often described as a “wall of lead,” can tear an incoming missile apart just seconds before impact. None of this means aircraft carriers are invincible. Every military system has vulnerabilities, and modern anti-ship weapons are increasingly capable. But the idea that carriers are easy targets, helpless giants waiting to be sunk, misunderstands how they actually operate. A carrier is not just a ship. It's a layered defense network, a mobile airbase, and the center of an entire fleet designed to make hitting it one of the most difficult tasks in modern warfare.

"THE UNITED STATES HAS NO AIRCRAFT CARRIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST" Most people believe that the U.S. cannot launch an attack on Iran unless it has at least one aircraft carrier in the Middle East. The U.S. usually has two aircraft carriers in place when a military intervention is launched. One of the aircraft carriers acts as a backup. That is the normal procedure. I think the military doctrine is changing. Aircraft carriers are vulnerable and I have previously written that if a conflict between the U.S. and Iran starts, the US will have its aircraft carriers at a safe distance. The issue extends beyond just Iran and the U.S.; it is also significantly related to the anticipated conflict between China and Taiwan. In my opinion, the U.S. does not wish to grant China any benefits in light of that conflict. A significant issue for the U.S. is that lacking aircraft carriers in a region at the onset of a conflict results in a loss of combat capability. This includes the ability to conduct sustained high-tempo air operations with numerous daily sorties. Without these carriers, you also miss out on integrated air defense suppression and electronic warfare in contested airspace. If the U.S. conducts strikes on Iran without the involvement of aircraft carriers, it suggests that it is assessing its military strength without these assets. This could be seen as a precursor to a confrontation with China..........

CNS Sichuan, China's largest and most advanced amphibious assault ship, set sail from Shanghai on its maiden sea trial on Friday, according to the People's Liberation Army Navy. With a hull code of 51, CNS Sichuan is the first in the Type 076 class. The ship displaces more than 40,000 metric tons of water and can carry fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and amphibious landing craft once commissioned. The ship boasts a unique configuration that features a dual-island superstructure, a first for Chinese naval ships, designed to better facilitate aviation operations. The vessel is also equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system, which will be used to launch fixed-wing aircraft, making the Sichuan the first Chinese amphibious assault ship capable off launching fixed-wing drones and only the second Chinese vessel to use this world-class technology after the CNS Fujian aircraft carrier.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America ordered its newest carrier back to steam catapults, then remembered nobody in the country has built one since 2004 Karen Kwiatkowski on the trap hiding inside the catapult order: "So maybe we can't build either one." The details make it worse. The Navy says the electromagnetic system can't be pulled from the first three Ford carriers, so the Doris Miller becomes a one-ship subclass with crews trained on hardware no other deck uses, its freshly installed launch piping gutted for a steam plant America stopped manufacturing two decades ago. Meanwhile Karen's been reading Chinese naval patents: hundreds of catapult designs, including a working new system, against the single American patent that started this fight. Her sharper point is about who's watching. Tehran tracks every sortie rate, fuel delivery, and unopened Gulf base, because adversaries measure facts while home audiences hear narratives. That gap, she argues, is why Iran now behaves like it holds the wheel. Karen Kwiatkowski Brandon Weichert

This sailor stepped onto the flight deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier knowing one wrong move could end everything in seconds. He hooked the F/A-18’s tailhook to the catapult shuttle while wind whipped across the deck and the jet’s engines screamed behind him. Hand signals flew, steam pressure built, and the crew held their breath as the aircraft sat locked and loaded on Catapult 4. Then came the launch. In under three seconds the jet was hurled forward at 150 miles per hour, disappearing into the sky on a pillar of raw power while the sailor stood exposed on the same deck that had just become a launching pad for a multimillion-dollar machine. This is the daily reality of American naval aviation — taxpayer-funded adrenaline where precision and human nerve decide life or death every single time. What must it feel like to stand there knowing the next launch could be your last if something goes wrong? How much longer should we keep asking these crews to risk everything while politicians debate the very budgets that make it possible?

Now THIS is a cool rollercoaster 🔥 The Fighter Jet at Fantawild Glorious Orient, in Ningbo, is a Vekoma Top Gun Launch Coaster themed around an aircraft carrier takeoff launching to 97 km/h in 3 seconds, and the back row drags you off that carrier deck with noticeably more force than anywhere else on the train. This is the full back row POV showing how much more aggressive the launch and all 4 inversions feel from the last seat on one of the most uniquely themed coasters in China. This is one I’d do in a heartbeat.

🇺🇸 Mid Air Fuel Transfer Explained Ever wondered how military jets refuel while still in the sky? Mid air refueling is a precise and highly coordinated process that lets fighter jets stay in the air longer without landing. A tanker aircraft releases a fuel hose or boom, and the receiving jet connects to it with careful guidance from both pilots. Once linked, fuel flows smoothly from the tanker to the jet, allowing the mission to continue without interruption. This method increases range, boosts operational flexibility, and keeps air power active where it is needed most. A simple connection in the sky turns into a major advantage on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Trump announced he's ordering the U.S. Navy to ditch the same technology for old-school steam power. Trump aboard USS George Washington: "When it breaks, you have to send it to MIT... Steam, you can fix it with a hammer and a blowtorch" The 80,000-ton Fujian can launch heavier jets including J-35 stealth fighters. But it's still conventionally powered while America's 11 carriers run on nuclear reactors. China's catching up, but they're still decades behind in operational experience. Japan's already nervous about Beijing's blue-water ambitions. Former Defense Minister calls it proof China's "broadly and rapidly reinforcing military power without transparency."

Afshin Rattansi: ‘Do they actually need the aircraft carriers to control the Indian Ocean? There's now an Internet of microphones being talked about, persistent underwater sensor webs, distributed underwater kill chains, and aircraft carriers are old hat in this age. It's underwater drones, microphone webs underneath, that can spot when submarines are being used let alone aircraft carriers, to destroy them using robotic mines. The days of that warfare are over. And AUKUS has already been named a billion-dollar coffin system. By the time AUKUS is created in the Indian Ocean, those huge submarines and aircraft carriers in the 2030s and 2040s will be obsolete.’ Have a question for Afshin Rattansi?

✈️ No runway? No problem. The Saab JAS 39 Gripen was designed to fight even if its airbases are destroyed. In minutes, a stretch of highway can become a fully operational runway, allowing the jet to refuel, rearm, and get back into the fight. This Royal Thai Air Force road takeoff is a perfect demonstration of why the Gripen is one of the most flexible fighter jets in service today. Would you rather have a fighter that depends on major airbases... or one that can launch from a highway?
