Meh, boring. It doesn't have the same aesthetics w/o the steam leaking all over.

I'd bet this is a lot easier to control than steam, too.
In theory, they can instantaneously vary the the amount of "pull" being exerted, as the plane is moving down the ramp - Faster acceleration, and less stress on the pilot and airframe. |

Yes, like all the crap from horse drawn carriages, those were aesthetically pleasing too. |

I bet you meant 'quicker', right? Or quieter. I don't think it is supposed to be quicker. It can be adjusted to the weight of the aircraft and give a more controlled acceleration than the steam catapults could, IIRC. |
