The Electrical Systems team identifies and develops next-generation electrical systems to advance a more electric future for airborne propulsive systems (MW, kV class) and secondary systems (sub-kW to kW power supplies, conversion solutions and actuation).
Focus areas
- Weight and emissions reduction of the hybrid-electric propulsion system
- Filter systems that suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and lightweight electrical wiring interconnection systems that limit EMI generation
- Thermal management systems that improve heat transfer from electrical systems to the aircraft exterior
- Leveraging AI-based design tools to promote self-configuring and autonomous modular power and data distribution across the aircraft
- High-performance, high-speed connectivity solutions to promote safety and cybersecurity for aircraft operations
