What can batteries withstand? – Dynamic-mechanical characterisation of battery materials

ArtikelBy

In battery electric vehicles and in the first small electric aeroplanes, energy is stored in conventional batteries, which require installation space and significantly increase the mass of the vehicle. Concepts with structurally integrated energy storage systems, on the other hand, offer a way of compensating for these disadvantages. By combining energy storage and load-bearing structure…

FASTER-H2 – (Rear-) Fuselage and Empennage with Cabin and Cargo Architecture for H2 integration (EU)

The FASTER-H2 project will validate, down-select, mature and demonstrate key technologies and provide the architectural integration of an ultra-efficient and hydrogen enabled integrated airframe for targeted ultra-efficient Short/Medium Range aircraft (SMR), i.e. 150-250 PAX and 1000-2000nm range. To enable climate-neutral flight, aircraft for short and medium-range distances have to rely on ultra-efficient thermal energy-based propulsion…
