Day 2, Panel 3: Critical Electric Propulsion Advances for Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell applications
Speakers:
- Graham Warwick, Tech Editor, Aviation Week
- Paul Murphy, CTO, ZeroAvia
- Jeffrey Engler, CEO, Wright Electric
- George Alafinov, Co-founder and CEO, JEKTA
Hydrogen aviation is symbiotically tied to developments in electric propulsion. As electric propulsion advances, battery, fuel-cell, and hybrid pathways are all further enabled in a potential range of aircraft from 4-passenger air taxis to the narrowbody workhorse of commercial air transport. In this session, the panel will examine new developments in electric propulsion and power electronics, explore the airframe applications they could enable and investigate how this will impact timelines for hydrogen-electric powertrain development.
