Battery Management System (BMS) for Electric Vertical Take Off & Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft & Low Cost All-Electric Aircraft (AEA) - Initial Scoping & Feasibility Study

全电动飞机（AEA）有可能减少航空航天的整体排放，并为消费者、企业和环境提供新的商业运营模式。然而，就目前而言，这种技术在商用BMS系统中存在障碍。目前，电动垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机在商业上可行的产品和服务方面处于领先地位。COVID-19对航空航天业的影响要比其他行业严重得多，无论是从供应方面还是从需求方面，通常在这种情况下，我们会看到替代和颠覆性技术走在前列。然而，在开发AEA产品的商业选择方面存在重大障碍，主要是关键商品的易于获得的供应链。目前，还没有现成的eVTOL BMS解决方案，大型航空供应商也无法在3年内提供这样的系统，即使这样，eVTOL和AEA的标准和立法也没有完全制定出来。eVTOL和BMS系统是允许各种其他EAerospace产品的门户技术，Danecca的目标是专注于通常使用活塞发动机的低成本飞机，同时寻求开发模块化系统，如果开发的立法与现有的商业航空航天要求密切相关，则可以扩展到商业航空核心航空航天BMS的要求。BMS系统将被设计为可扩展的，因此适用于包括汽车和能源存储在内的许多行业。由于evtol没有标准，因此将采取灵活的方法，允许汽车ISO 26262和航空航天功能安全元素在同一新颖设计中共存。

All Electric Aircraft (AEA) have the potential to reduce overall aerospace emissions and provide new commercial operating models for the benefit of the consumer, business and environment. However, as it stands there is a block to this technology in the form of commercially available BMS systems for these type of aircraft. As it stands, Electric Vertical Take Off & Landing (eVTOL) craft currently lead the charge in relation to commercially viable products and services.COVID-19 has affected the aerospace industry significantly harder than other industries, both from supply and demand side, typically in such scenarios we see alternative and disruptive technologies come to the forefront. However, there are significant barriers to the development of commercial options for AEA products, mainly in the form of an easily accessible supply chain for key commodities.Currently, there are no off-shelf BMS solutions for eVTOL, and large Aerospace suppliers are not in a position provide such system within a 3 year timescale, and even then, the standards & legislation for eVTOL & AEA have not been fully developed.eVTOL & BMS systems are a gateway technology to allow a variety of other EAerospace Products, Danecca's aim would be to focus on low cost aircraft that typically would operate using piston engines While looking to develop a modular system that would allow us to expand into the requirements for core Aerospace BMS for commercial aviation, if the legislation that develops is closely aligned to existing commercial aerospace requirements.The BMS system will be designed to be scalable and therefore appropriate to a number of industries including automotive and energy storage as required. As no standards exist for eVTOLs, a flexible approach will be taken, allowing elements of both Automotive ISO 26262 & Aerospace Functional Safety elements to co-exist within the same novel design.
