Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft (2016)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2016). Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 26(8), https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2016.2598772

This paper considers the feasibility of different superconducting technologies for electromagnetic launch (EML) to assist civil aircraft take-off. EML has the potential of reducing the required runway length by increasing aircraft acceleration. Expen... Read More about Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft.
