The force to launch an aircraft is different from type to type. The Thrust is defined by the engines mounted on the aircraft.

For example the Boeing 777 can be used with the Rolls Royce Trent 877.

The last 2 digits defined the flat rated amount of thrust for each engine in pounds. So for the Trent 877 it would be 77,000 lbs of thrust.

This is also used in GE engines and PW.

So the force needed to launch an aircraft, varies. Furthermore it depends on the weight on the aircraft.

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.
