Project description DEENESFRITPL Improved battery technology for electric aircraft Electric propulsion is a promising path to significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions of the aviation industry. For this, major improvements in battery technology will be needed to replace current engines on commercial aircraft. These mainly relate to greater energy storage capacity, higher power, reduced total mass and volume, as well as better thermal energy management. The LiBAT project will design and assemble a battery pack prototype with energy density that matches the state of the art. The aim is to manufacture a lightweight battery that is powerful enough to fly a commercial airplane. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Hybrid and electric propulsion systems for aeronautics represent an enormous potential for innovation, especially with regard to CO2 savings. In order to achieve a reliable, efficient and safe operation of such battery systems, they must be optimized in terms of energy storage capacity, electrical power, total mass and volume, Thermal requirements for materials and construction. The main goal is to design and assemble a prototype of a entire battery pack with state-of-the-art energy density. A clear definition of the interfaces will insure the easy integration of the demonstrator into current aircraft architectures. The prototype will be developed to reach TRL4 and will be validated in laboratory conditions.
