We all need less stress...
"...EMALS fitted to the new nuclear-powered carrier USS Gerald R. Ford put "excessive airframe stress" on aircraft being launched.
Irony, from the Wikipedia entry on EMALS... "The main advantage is that this system allows for a more graded acceleration, inducing less stress on the aircraft's airframe."
I'm curious why there is apparently less control for a linear motor than a steam piston.
