BAE Reduces Sizes of Energy Systems For Electric Aircraft
BAE is adapting energy management, engine controls, and power conversion systems for use with the electric propulsion systems of new eVTOL aircraft.

BAE Systems is working to produce smaller, lighter engine control systems for new electric aircraft like Jaunt Air Mobility’s planned family of eVTOL models.

BAE Systems is reducing the size and weight of its energy management and engine controls technology to be used with propulsion systems for new hybrid-electric and electric aircraft. The company has already produced equipment that is 40 percent smaller and lighter than units now in service on much larger turbofans, while claiming that they will deliver 10 times the processing power.

The project, which BAE unveiled in June, is part of a wider effort by the group to partner with developers of new electric aircraft. The group is also offering flight controls and power conversion technology for programs such as Jaunt Air Mobility’s family of eVTOL aircraft.
