An acceleration system (30) for accelerating a load, for example for launching an aircraft (21), comprises a flywheel (12) driven from a power source (15), the flywheel (22) having a spiral profiled surface (16) for receiving a cable (17) a remote end portion of which is connectable to the aircraft (21). The profiled surface (16) ensures that launching of the aircraft (21) is effected smoothly, initially at low speed and then at progressively increasing speed until the aircraft attains take-off speed.

L'invention concerne un système d'accélération (30) pour accélérer une charge, par exemple pour lancer un avion (21), et comprend une roue volante (12) commandée par une source d'alimentation (15), la roue volante (22) ayant une surface profilée en spirale (16) pour recevoir un câble (17) dont l'extrémité éloignée peut être reliée à l'avion (21). La surface profilée (16) garantit que le lancement de l'avion (21) est effectué en douceur, tout d'abord à une vitesse lente puis à une vitesse augmentant progressivement jusqu'à ce que l'avion atteigne la vitesse de décollage.
