Once down, it renders the ship useless…another gubment “great idea”?Beekeeper » Today, 9:19 am » wrote: ↑ Sounds like a GREAT PLAN considering the FAILURE RATES of the "new" systems!!
Electromagnetic catapults, known as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), have faced notable technical, reliability, and political hurdles. Chief among these are high early failure rates, falling well short of target cycles between operational failures, heavy reliance on specialized technical support, and recent high-level directives to halt their use on future ships.
Core Reliability and Technical Problems
- Low Mean Cycles Between Failure (MCBF): EMALS was originally designed to achieve thousands of launches between critical failures. Early testing and deployment data showed it breaking down far more frequently—often after only 400 to 600 cycles—adversely impacting flight operations and sortie rates.
- Complex Power Integration: The system requires massive bursts of electrical energy from onboard turbine generators and kinetic energy storage flywheels. Managing these massive power spikes has led to localized electrical faults and multi-day system downtime during early operations.
Want to try again in telling everyone HOW **** STUPID YOU ARE??
- Reliance on Outside Support: Unlike legacy steam systems that shipboard crews could completely service independently, EMALS heavily depends on specialized, off-ship contractor and technical support to troubleshoot complex software and hardware glitches during deployments.
Go back to sucking that BAG OF DICKS I gave you yesterday!! Or did you finish it up already??
