Description

When: Fri, Sept 15, 2023

The objective of the high voltage workshop is to capture and disseminate information that leads to community engagement toward meeting new power needs in aerospace electrified propulsion and systems. The goal is two-fold: 1) Identify near-term aeronautic gaps and needs for low-altitude electrified propulsion (EP) and systems leading toward the technology building blocks and methods and tools for solutions development, testing, manufacturing, and certification. 2) For megawatt-class electrified propulsion and systems, identify additional work necessary for technology development, taking into account integration, validation and testing requirements in aeronautics and space applications.

Learning Outcomes

• Learning about the challenges of high voltage aerospace systems
• Identify near-term gaps, obstacles, and investment needs
• Strategies in process / technology development / investment for safe and reliable integrate of high voltage electrification in aerospace systems

Focus Area, Skill Level & Format

Focus Area: High Voltage in Aeronautics and Space Systems

Skill Level: All skills levels (novice, intermediate, and advanced) are encouraged to attend
