    With test launch, U.S. Navy goes electromagnetic (photos)

    On Saturday, the U.S. Navy made its first-ever launch of an aircraft using an electromagnetic system. Formally known as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, or EMALS, the technology is intended to replace the steam catapults that have been used on aircraft carriers since the mid-1950s.
