Landing a successful electric aircraft program – Ep. 2
It’s a new season of the Battery Podcast and a new industry to talk about. In the first half of our discussion with Todd Tuthill – VP of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine Industries at Siemens Digital Industries Software – we dove into the electrification of air transportation and the challenges it brings. But beyond the technological challenges of electrified aircraft, there are durability and safety implications that still need to be fleshed out to break into the mainstream.
In part two we are covering some of the more specific challenges battery electric aircraft bring to design and manufacturing, from safety measures to product validation. We’ll go beyond battery applications for Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (EVTOL) craft as small delivery vehicles such as those from Zipline.
What you’ll learn:
- The possibility of solid-state batteries
- Building out an aircraft architecture with batteries in mind
- Long-term goals of electric aircraft
- The value of digitalization for these emergent aircraft
