As the aviation industry advances its sustainability ambitions, developers of electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered aircraft face challenges in matching the range, payload, and performance of traditional gas-powered designs.
To address this issue and enhance the competitiveness of "green" aircraft, TT Electronics is introducing a suite of high-voltage DC power conversion solutions. The UK-based company asserts that these solutions will improve performance by enabling more efficient, longer-duration flights at higher altitudes compared to current off-the-shelf components. TT Electronics announced this high-voltage DC power conversion solution on Tuesday at the Farnborough International Airshow.
“What we're seeing in terms of the urban air mobility market and even the civil and military aviation markets now is that our customers are after almost modified off-the-shelf products,” Kevin Littler, head of business development at TT Electronics, told AIN. “They want something that's quick and they don't want to pay a lot of non-recurring engineering costs for it, but they still want it to be suitable for their requirements."
