The new facility is one of two final assembly lines in Toulouse, alongside four in Hamburg, Germany; two in Mobile, United States; and two in Tianjin, China, all them capable of assembling the A321.
The UK CAA recently announced its intention to adopt European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Means of Compliance to SC-VTOL, the standards against which European and now UK manufacturers will design eVTOLs.
The battery will be the first-of-its-kind to be integrated into an electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) regional aircraft, allowing it to efficiently operate with zero emissions and low noise.
Operational ramp-up of Vertical’s battery manufacturing machinery has begun by assembling the first in-house developed prototype battery modules in the facility.
The agreement will look for the best pathways to move from current cell chemistries (advanced lithium-ion) to all solid-state designs which could double the energy density of batteries in the 2030 timeframe.
Ground and flight testing this fuel cell engine architecture should begin onboard the ZEROe demonstrator aircraft towards the middle of the decade. The A380 is currently being modified to carry liquid hydrogen tanks.
Bringing together teams that were previously spread across several sites, the new facility will promote cooperation and should ensure the best working conditions for the 430 employees involved.
Built with ultra-strong lightweight composites, the workstations improve aircraft and weapon systems' performance. They have an optimal viewing angle for both seated and standing crew members.
Zenlabs believes that its proprietary pre-lithiated silicon anode and high-performance battery cells will be a real game changer for the electric aviation market. They pack greater than 3,000 watts per kilogram.
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.
The Integral E is a key step towards the first zero-emission training aircraft with aerobatic capabilities. Aura selected an EPS battery for such an important phase because of its maturity and installation flexibility.
