E-drive for aviation
Electric airplane with record-breaking motor takes off
Siemens researchers have developed a new type of electric motor for airplanes: Weighing just 50 kg, it delivers a continuous output that is five times higher than that of comparable drives. Installed in an aerobatic airplane, it has now completed its first flight in front of the public.
