Vicor Powering Innovation podcast explores electric aircraft with Ampaire
December 13 2022 - 9:01AM
Vicor Corporation today announced the release of episode #3 in
its podcast series on world-changing technologies, Powering
Innovation. This episode examines the growth, challenges and
benefits of electrifying aircrafts and hybrid-electric planes.
In this third installment of Powering Innovation, Robert Gendron
of Vicor talks to Ed Lovelace, Chief Technology Officer of Ampaire,
about electrified aircraft, from the use of short-haul cargo
flights to supersonic transport methods. Ampaire is a global leader
in aircraft electrification and has won awards for aeronautical
innovation and environmental sustainability. In this episode,
Robert and Ed examine the power requirements of a fully electrified
aircraft and try to imagine a path for commercialized aircraft to
transition to cleaner, electric power.
“This episode highlights electric aircraft opportunities which
is often overshadowed by today’s electric vehicle advancements,”
said Gendron. “Ed lends a lot of insight and credibility from
Ampaire’s success about what really goes into designing new hybrid
aircraft. There are many considerations from a power electronics
perspective. We are very proud that Vicor modules, with higher
density and lighter weight, can support this type of world-changing
application.”
The Vicor Powering Innovation podcast is available with new
episodes released monthly. Listeners can learn about new ideas in
electrification, unique power challenges, creative power
architectures and topologies, as well as innovative solutions
leveraging power modules.
The Powering Innovation podcast is available for download from
all major podcast providers, including Spotify, Apple Music, Google
Podcasts and more.
