Θα μπορούσαμε σύμφωνα με την περιγραφή να το μεταφράσουμε ως σαΐτα; (Βέβαια, δεν έχουμε αεροπλανοφόρα στην Ελλάδα, αλλά κάτι θα έχει προβλέψει η ελληνική ορολογία γι' αυτό. Ζαζ!!!)
An aircraft catapult is a device used to launch aircraft from ships—in particular aircraft carriers—as a form of assisted take off. It consists of a track built into the flight deck, below which is a large piston or shuttle that is attached through the track to the nose gear of the aircraft.
The steam catapult consists of two slotted cylinders similar in principle to those used by the Clegg & Samuda atmospheric railway. The cylinders—typically 18 inches in diameter—contain free pistons connected to a shuttle which protrudes through a slot in the flight deck. The nosewheel of the aircraft to be launched is attached to the shuttle by a launch bar.
