A catapult launch lift is a system used to launch aircraft from an aircraft carrier. It works by using steam or hydraulic pressure to propel the aircraft along the flight deck and into the air, allowing it to achieve the necessary takeoff speed in a shorter distance than a traditional runway. This system provides the necessary acceleration for the aircraft to become airborne safely.

A catapult launch lift, also known as a ski jump, is a mechanism used on aircraft carriers to launch aircraft. It involves using a steam or hydraulic system to rapidly accelerate the aircraft along a sloped ramp and into the air. This helps overcome the lack of available runway length on the carrier's deck and enables the aircraft to achieve the necessary takeoff speed.

f-22 is an air force plane; air force planes don't land on aircraft carriers it would kill their landing gear.
F-22s don't have arrestor gear or the means of attaching to the catapult system.
The F-35 is the newest carrier born aircraft currently still in the testing phase
of carrier landings. Different versions are built,one being a verticle take off and landing capable plane the other being a catapult launched version.

Full thrust with afterburner and a steam catapault system that grips the front landing gear- pulls it forward to about 140 knotsin 1.5 seconds and then releases. CVN 79 (Carrier Vessel, Nuclear) and onward will use electromagnetic catapult systems.

A catapult uses elastic potential energy stored in the tension of its ropes or springs to launch a projectile. When the ropes or springs are released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the object forward. The transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy allows the catapult to launch projectiles with force and speed.

These devices come from antiquity. Remember the Biblical tale of David using a slingshot to vanquish the giant Goliath. The Australian Aborigines Woomera, a throwing stick is quite similar, and dates to at least 5000 years ago.
The Romans developed Catapults into an efficient and powerful war weapon.
They do not necessarily need elastic as an energy store.
In aeronautics, we use the gravitational well of a planet as a slingsot to enhance the speed of a exploratory vessel.
In the above uses, the operating principle is similar to that of an aircraft catapult as used on aircraft carriers.
1 answer
The energy in a catapult is stored as potential energy, specifically elastic potential energy. This energy is stored in the stretched material of the catapult, such as a spring or elastic band, ready to be converted into kinetic energy when the catapult is released.
