As the aviation industry presses ahead with its sustainability ambitions, developers of electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-powered aircraft are grappling with the fact that new eco-friendly designs cannot deliver the same range, payload, and performance as their traditional gas-guzzling counterparts. 

To address this conundrum and make “green” aircraft more competitive, TT Electronics is introducing a suite of high-voltage DC power conversion solutions that the UK-based company says will boost performance by enabling more efficient, longer-duration flights at higher altitudes compared with off-the-shelf components that are available today. TT Electronics announced the high-voltage DC power conversion solution Tuesday at the Farnborough International Airshow.
