InCEPTion: Integrated flight Control, Energy storage and Propulsion Technologies for electric aviation
Lead Participant:
GREENJETS LIMITED
Abstract
Project InCEPTion will develop a novel all-electric propulsion module that is safe-by-design, scalable, modular, power dense, quiet, efficient and enables the combined use of batteries and fuel cells in aircraft. The module will accelerate the electrification of various classes of electric aircraft (0-30 PAX), from eVTOLs, general aviation eCTOLs, up to sub-regional aircraft. The best-of-breed UK consortium consists of - Blue Bear (Lead), Drive System Design, Ricardo, Dowty Propellers, M&I Materials, University of Cambridge - Whittle Laboratory, University of Salford - Salford Acoustics.
