China's third aircraft carrier, CNS Fujian, reportedly undergoing mooring tests in Shanghai, is equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting devices, the most advanced means of launching fixed-wing, manned airplanes from aircraft carriers. This is a great technological breakthrough for China because unlike CNS Liaoning and CNS Shandong, which use ski ramps (ski jumps) to launch airplanes, CNS Fujian will employ electromagnetic catapults for the task.
