This is an early prototype of a catapult system I'm working on. Eventually, I want to be able to use it on an aircraft carrier and potentially to also launch projectiles if it's strong enough. This version has a test projectile that can be launched to demonstrate its power.

Controls:
AG2: Push down shocks & load projectile
AG3: Launch projectile

If you know a better way of doing this, please let me know! I'm basically just attaching shocks and using a piston to push the shocks down.

    @CaptainCaleb I'm just trying to come up with a good catapult system for my aircraft carrie. I might add your helicopter to my aircraft carrier I've been working on. I've been planning on adding a helipad for it but the only problem is I'd like something thing isn't too many pieces so it doesn't run slowly.

    @CaptainCaleb Nah you're cool bro and I appreciate the advice. I just can't think of how motors would be used instead so I'm interested to see how you'd do it. Just @me once you've got it done so I can see what you're talking about

    I'll try to make a stand so I can test it with my Navy F-5

    @DaBears instead of springs but this right now is good i was just pointing out alternatives.

    @CaptainCaleb I think I can make a reloading system. How would solid motors function in this?

    You could try solid motors instead but you'd have to have a reloading system. Or you could just do jato on the planes nice build!
