A new hybrid electric motor developed through a project named Hypstair has the potential to make a breakthrough in emission-free propulsion in aviation. The motor is being tested on a Pipistrel ...
Having witnessed the advantages of electrification in the automotive world, the aviation industry has quickly jumped on board and started looking into ways of integrating batteries and electric motors ...
Back in the fall of 2020 a small British company called Equipmake presented to the world what it described as humanity's most power-dense permanent magnet electric motor in series production. At the ...
Supersonic-style passenger travel is no longer a nostalgic fantasy from the Concorde era but a live engineering project, driven by a new generation of compact, ultra-powerful electric and hybrid ...
The U.S. Navy has quietly written a small but telling check to a company working on a solar‑electric aircraft that can stay ...
By combining a high-power electric motor for aircraft propulsion (note 6), an electric turbo compressor (note 7), a high-flux plastic magnet rotor (note 8), and an electric hydrogen turbo-blower (note ...
In a remarkable demonstration, Electra showcased its hybrid-electric Ultra Short prototype to U.S. military stakeholders, emphasizing the aircraft's ability to operate in areas without conventional ...
When the aircraft goes supersonic, the engine functions like a turbojet, with combustion going active to produce high-velocity thrust. The electric motors continue to drive the compressor at the exact ...
Powered by a combination of batteries and internal combustion, hybrid-electric aircraft can cut CO 2 emissions by 50% or more along with offering dramatically lower operating costs. While the low ...
