For Air Launching we have a term and definition in Pyrotechnics.
Air Launching (Pyrotechnics) 
A method of launching aerial shells that uses compressed air rather than a black powder lift charge. Shells are placed into a rotating turret that rotates each tube into a firing position over an air valve. The resulting blast of air propels the shell into the sky. Timed computer chips built in to the shell will trigger the burst charge at the correct altitude.
