ATEA’s hybrid-electric propulsion system will integrate Safran’s EASA-certified ENGINeUS motors, with ground testing already underway in southern France.
The certified electric motor will support new air mobility, from small aircraft to future hybrid propulsion systems.
The first production aircraft version will be the Cassio 330, with a four/five-seat interior configuration and operating on a combined electric-hybrid propulsion power of 330 kilowatts.
Woodward has begun work with Boeing and plans to produce the actuators by 2026, while Safran is to provide electrical power. Test flights of the Transonic Truss-braced Wing X-66A are scheduled to begin in 2028.
GENeUSCONNECT completes the range of electrical systems developed by Safran for air mobility: the ENGINeUS electric motor, GENeUS motor/generator, GENeUSGRID electrical distribution and GENeUSPACK battery.
Safran will supply the propulsion system’s ENGINeUS 100 electric motor, which delivers a maximum power of more than 150 kW at takeoff. This integrates its own control electronics as well as an air-cooling system.
The demonstrator aims to evaluate the operational advantages of integrating hybrid-electric distributed propulsion, with specific emphasis on CO2 emissions and noise level reduction.
The eDA40 will become the first EASA/FAA Part 23 certified electric aircraft, and is designed to be a circuit trainer powered by an ENGINeUS electric smart motor by Safran Electrical and Power.
The ENGINeUS 100 delivers more than 100kW at take-off and features a fully integrated motor controller within the machine. The thermal management is provided by an optimised air-cooling system.
The ENGINeUS 100, that will equip the eDA40, delivers 130 kW maximum at take-off power and features a fully integrated motor controller within the machine.
Electric Power Systems received investment from Safran in 2019, and now it is to lay the groundwork for industrial cooperation in order to bring a range of high value-added products to the market.
Following cell selection and subsequent design integration for EcoPulse, several prototype/specimen batteries will soon be subjected to testing in Toulouse according to stringent aeronautical standards.
Distributed Propulsion Systems consist of breaking down thrust generation into many small engines spread out along the span of the wing. Wind tunnel work will now reveal its final energy performance.
The eFlyer 800 will have only one-fifth the operating costs of traditional twin turboprops and is geared for the air taxi, cargo, regional and charter aircraft markets. L3Harris will collaborate to create an ISR version.
Bye Aerospace already has sales agreements for over 700 eFlyer aircraft, and has opted to equip these with Safran's ENGINeUS 100 smart electric motor with fully integrated motor controller.
