According to media reports, the United States recently plans to sell a new electromagnetic ejection system and matching interception and recovery system to France, estimated price of $1.32 billion, but the United States will need to approve the plan to implement. 

       While the cost of 1.32 billion US dollars accounts for 23% of the budget of France’s new aircraft carrier, there is much speculation in the community that the US chose to sell the electromagnetic ejection system to France at this time, probably in order to calm down the relationship crisis caused by the submarine order incident, earlier, the United States snatched France’s sky-high Australian submarine orders. 

     Speaking of electromagnetic ejection system, it is a new, high-tech catapult which has arisen in recent years. The electromagnetic ejection system uses the linear motor under the flight deck of the aircraft carrier to eject the carrier aircraft. At the heart of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System is the linear motor, which drives the armature connected to the plane. Compared with the traditional Steam catapult, the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System has the advantages of small volume, low requirements for on-board auxiliary systems, high efficiency, light weight, and low operating and maintenance costs. Is One of the core technologies of the future aircraft carrier. The Ford, which launched in 2013, is powered by a linear motor called the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System.

       With the rapid development of linear motor, it has been gradually used in the military field, such as Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, military shooting range, military simulation system. 

     Kunshan is a developer and manufacturer of linear and Rotary Motion Solutions for Linear Motors, Voice Coil Motors and system integration.
