If you think you can model eVTOL aircraft charging based on the same systems used for electric cars, think again. That is the message from Josh Portlock, the chief technology officer of Electro, an Australia-based company that manufactures electric aircraft charging products.
“The electric aviation revolution is coming and we are going to need high power standardized charging infrastructure to scale with global demand,” Portlock told the recent Vertical Aviation Safety Team (VAST) conference. . “Aviation charging is very different from automotive charging. Aircraft can’t drive right up to the charger like a car can, and they have wingspans to deal with. You need to move the charger and plug it into the aircraft because it’s likely out on the apron, with maybe half a dozen aircraft that might be in the way. You want to make sure that you can, as quickly as possible, start charging an aircraft.”
