FFLIP (Future Flight and Land Infrastructure Programme) will develop the outputs from a successful Future Flight Phase 2 (FFP2) project (76052). FFP2 demonstrated a viable charging infrastructure for urban air mobility (UAM), including a 1/10th scale version of a 600kW system.Petalite successfully met all its technology milestones to develop the SDC Technology (TRL 5-6). The SDC modular power core design has begun pre-compliance testing at an external EMC laboratory. The team worked with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) sandbox to assist in creating charging infrastructure regulations for eVTOLs and created a Smart Core system to reduce peak loading to solve the challenges of high-power consumption in high-density urban environments (HDUE).Petalite has invented a?patent-pending charging?platform?for an innovative new supercharger "SDC"**.**?**A**?**true single-stage** **charging platform**, with?**100x**?**higher reliability (a key requirement for fleets),**?**3x**?**longer**?**operating**?**lifetime (up 17 years) compared to all existing chargers in the market (Full-Bridge).**?SDC will be a transformative platform technology enabling electrification of mobility in demanding applications such as eVTOL.FFLIP will deliver a full-scale multi-modal demonstration at a site in Oxfordshire, including a 600kW eVTOL charger infrastructure with multiple power configurations (600kW+) to support 24-hour rapid charging of electric ground vehicles, trucks, drones, and eVTOL aircraft. Without the right charging infrastructure in place, eVTOLs cannot become a feasible form of transportation.This consortium led by Petalite includes aerospace contract manufacturer Custom Interconnect Limited (CIL), Oxfordshire County Council (OCC), specialist aerospace technologists at Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA), systems integrator Vanti (trading name RTS Technology Solutions Limited), and eVTOL manufacturer, Samad Aerospace Limited (SAL).All existing chargers (which use full-bridge topology) require power factor correction circuits and high side driving components. Introducing significant failure modes a multi-staged switching system. These installations have high CAPex, are expensive to install (due to peak loading) and have short operating lives (2-5 years). The traditional business case becomes difficult to justify without significant government subsidies.Petalite has partnered with CIL to utilise its aerospace design knowledge for manufacturing. A cyclical verification and testing phase conducted in collaboration with OCC and SAL will ensure the prototypes meet the design performance targets, sustainability, and end-user needs. SAL will provide its eVTOL prototypes for demonstration purposes and implementation of the flight trials. The MAA will apply its aerospace experience to ensure that the new technology is architected and designed in accordance with aerospace safety and process requirements.

FFLIP（未来飞行和陆地基础设施项目）将开发成功的未来飞行第二阶段（FFP2）项目（76052）的产出。FFP2展示了一个可行的城市空中交通（UAM）充电基础设施，包括一个1/10的600kW系统。Petalite成功地实现了开发SDC技术（TRL 5-6）的所有技术里程碑。SDC模块化电源核心设计已经开始在外部EMC实验室进行预符合性测试。该团队与民航局（CAA）沙盒合作，协助制定evtol的充电基础设施法规，并创建了一个智能核心系统，以减少峰值负载，以解决高密度城市环境（HDUE）中高功耗的挑战。Petalite发明了一种？新收费平台?一款创新的新型增压器“SDC”** *?** ** *？**真单级** **充电平台**，带？**100x**？* *高可靠性(关键要求舰队),* * ? * * 3 x * * ? * *长* * ? * *操作* * ?**与市场上所有现有充电器（全桥）相比，使用寿命（长达17年）。SDC将是一种变革性的平台技术，能够在eVTOL等要求苛刻的应用中实现移动性的电气化。FFLIP将在牛津郡的一个地点进行全面的多模式演示，包括具有多种功率配置（600千瓦以上）的600kW eVTOL充电器基础设施，以支持电动地面车辆、卡车、无人机和eVTOL飞机的24小时快速充电。如果没有合适的充电基础设施，电动交通工具就无法成为一种可行的交通方式。该财团由Petalite牵头，包括航空合同制造商Custom Interconnect Limited （CIL）、牛津郡议会（OCC）、米德兰兹航空航天联盟（MAA）的专业航空航天技术人员、系统集成商Vanti（交易名称RTS技术解决方案有限公司）和eVTOL制造商Samad aerospace Limited （SAL）。所有现有的充电器（使用全桥拓扑）都需要功率因数校正电路和高侧驱动元件。介绍多级交换系统的主要故障模式。这些装置的资本支出高，安装成本高（由于峰值负载），使用寿命短（2-5年）。如果没有大量的政府补贴，传统的商业案例就很难站得住脚。Petalite与CIL合作，利用其航空航天设计知识进行制造。与OCC和SAL合作进行的周期性验证和测试阶段将确保原型满足设计性能目标、可持续性和最终用户需求。SAL将提供eVTOL原型机用于演示目的和飞行试验的实施。MAA将运用其航空经验，确保新技术的架构和设计符合航空安全和工艺要求。
