Aircraft Catapult

Description
Aircraft catapult from my soon to be released aircraft carrier, broken out to be used in your own creations. Catapult is automatic, will lock when something is on top of the catapult landing gear indicated by the green light. 5 seconds later it will launch. Upon the item leaving the catapult, it will be reset and ready to re-use.

Thank for the answer.

It's because it's not a single piston but rather multiple, I believe over 6 or 7 pistons, each one adding about 5 mps.

May i ask you why your piston can go this fast?
Is because script or any other ? thank you.

I also tested it out, it works but you need to make sure the gear releases early enough. Adjust the sensor that sits just at the front where the aircraft releases from, adjust the "bottom" range so your aircraft is detected by the sensor before the landing gear reaches the end of the extension. The sensor unlocks the gear when it detects small ship objects and then triggers the catapult reset when the small ship leaves the sensor range.

Ok so I tried it out and it wont release

In theory it can, since it is shooting you forward with pistons while holding you with a landing gear that unlocks at the end of the piston length. It *should* result in a fairly straight shot out, but if your ship bangs the landing gear on release it might be a problem.

Will this work in space?

I've been trying to use this blueprint but it starts moving forward but then stops around 1/3rd down the track am I doing something wrong or is it broken at the minute

Are scripts enabled on the world? They are disabled by default
