#3: eVTOL Power Density and Thermal Management: Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the Aerospace & Defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today.When you think about the first airplanes… they were propeller-driven. Then, the jet engine came along and transformed the nature of aviation for good. Today, we’re ready to embark on the next frontier – electric propulsion. Electric propulsion is a great response to the need for green energy alternatives and battling climate collapse. Electric propulsion is being built into short-haul aircraft, urban air mobility vehicles and even into supersonic air travel. In our last episode, we had a great conversation on aerodynamic design and the associated elements that impact performance and efficiency. Today, we’ll address power density and thermal management of an eVTOL aircraft. You’ll learn the benefits and challenges of using e by Talking Aerospace Today
