Engine certification will continue through the first half of 2023, including flights currently under way on the P&W flying test bed in Mirabel, as well as endurance testing to ensure product maturity at entry into service.
The C919 features an integrated propulsion system, bringing the Nexcelle joint venture-supplied nacelle, thrust reverser and exhaust system together with CFM International's LEAP-1C powerplant.
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.
Collins' new wind tunnel will use a powerful fan to create a windspeed of up to 170 knots to simulate an in-flight power loss during the testing process.
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.
Ampaire conducted the first Eco Caravan hybrid powertrain ground runs in April, with plans to fly the aircraft in the second half of the year. The target for STC approval is 2024.
Universal Hydrogen's HQ, Hangar B16, was originally built in the 1940s and was first used as a civil hangar for aircraft maintenance before being occupied by Airbus during the development of the Guppy and the Caravelle.
Electroflight has a track record of delivering safety critical, innovative battery solutions and will focus on delivering next-generation battery technology to complement Evolito's unique motors and controllers.
Lilium Jets will each be equipped with two SPDUs and one CPDU. SPDUs are responsible for high voltage (1,000 VDC) to low voltage (28 VDC) conversion and for low voltage distribution and protection.
The goal is to replace one of the two conventional gas turbine engines on a test Do228 with a 600 kW electric powertrain with energy supplied by a hydrogen-powered fuel cell by the middle of this decade.
The lightweight brushless motors that will be integrated into CityAirbus NextGen incorporate the latest generation of MAGicALL's magnetics and power electronics technology.
Through magniX the NASA program aims to demonstrate electric propulsion technology to power a hybrid De Havilland Canada Dash 7 aircraft, with first flight planned for 2025.
BAE Systems will provide energy storage and the high-integrity controls and cables for the demonstrator's power management system, which will be tested on CT7-9B turboprop engines.
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.
Regardless of electrical power source, Crane A&E's high-power converters will convert high voltage source power into an aircraft's traditional 28v DC bus or 270v DC bus, delivering up to 4kW of power.
The drive to develop sustainable products is a key focus for BAE Systems, including electrification, increased use of synthetics and other greener energy sources. Pipistrel bring considerable experience to the party.
