How do electric motors work in aviation? A new "ZeroAvia Introduces..." video to compliment the existing video walking through the basics of fuel cells.
Electric motors can be more energy-efficient, reduce noise pollution, increase durability and significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional combustion engines. As the aviation industry seeks more sustainable solutions to combat the sector's climate impact, electrifying flight is the key innovation. Hydrogen-electric systems, using fuel cells to generate electricity and power electric motors, are increasingly recognised as a key solution, but rely on hyper efficient and aerospace-optimized motors.
In this introductory video, Mike Sarnoff-Wood, Lead Electric Integration Engineer at ZeroAvia, shares his take on how an electric motor works. Watch the video to find out how electric propulsion can revolutionise aviation!
