Abstract

In this article it will be mainly analyzed the design of the basic structure of a catapulting machine. More broadly, will be presented introductory notions that describe the chosen topic, modeling methods used, the design itself, future research directions and conclusions. The design of the basic structure is illustrated and described in the beginning of the paper, while in the secondary part of the article is approaching the conceptual design of the housing, and of the catapulting system.
