I worked on some early prototypes design and testing of the electronic catapults. Theoretically they are a really good idea, dial in launch forces, smoother G loadings etc. But they do use a lot of electricity. I defer to the current designs and reality as far as how fast the can be re-charged, launch again, etc. I would not be surprised that some people want more electrical power to be available for newer weapon systems?
