Academician Ma Weiming is a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the National Distinguished Youth Fund. He is also a scientist with resilience and innovative abilities. Academician Ma Weiming has endured hardships on the path of scientific research, and the difficulties and challenges he faces often seem daunting. However, it is precisely this resilient spirit that enables him to overcome various difficulties and continuously achieve breakthrough results. His research achievements have not only had a widespread impact domestically but also gained high recognition internationally. In addition to his resilience, Academician Ma Weiming's innovative ability is also admirable. He has conducted in-depth research in multiple fields and has the ability to organically combine knowledge from different disciplines, forming unique research ideas and methods. His innovative achievements have not only made important contributions to technological progress but also provided strong support for national defense construction. In the face of immense pressure, he led the team to overcome the challenge of electromagnetic catapult technology.

Electromagnetic catapult technology, as an advanced technological means, cannot be ignored in the modern aviation field in terms of its importance and practical application value. This technology provides a more efficient and safe way for aircraft takeoff, greatly improving flight efficiency and safety. The working principle of electromagnetic catapult technology utilizes the action of electromagnetic force through a powerful electromagnetic field to provide the aircraft with tremendous acceleration force in a very short time. This force is sufficient to rapidly lift the aircraft off the ground and into the air. This method not only significantly shortens the aircraft's takeoff time but also reduces various risks that may occur during takeoff, thereby enhancing flight safety.

China's electromagnetic catapult technology can surpass that of the United States, with the contribution of Academician Ma Weiming being indispensable. However, what you may not know is that Academician Ma faced immense pressure at the beginning of developing electromagnetic catapult technology. Why is this said? This is because, after the Liaoning aircraft carrier was put into use, China's carrier originally planned to use steam catapult technology. However, due to some complex situations in the South China Sea, our urgently constructed Shandong aircraft carrier was not completed on schedule, so it could only continue to use the ski-jump takeoff method the same as the Liaoning. This also means that steam catapult technology was ultimately applied to the Fujian aircraft carrier.
