Battery electrified power is predicted to become the dominant mode of propulsion in light duty ground transport and some small, shorter range aircraft. For larger aerospace applications, alternatives such as sustainable aviation fuel and liquid hydrogen appear attractive in the longer term as part of a hybrid electric propulsion system. In all cases, increasingly integrated electric drives of higher power density are required. A new high altitude climatic testing facility and coupled digital twin is proposed to enable world class research of disruptive electric propulsion component materials, designs and manufacturing up to system level and Megawatt scale. The research enabled will ultimately help reduce associated end use energy demand for Net Zero in this sector and other transport applications reliant on hybrid propulsion in the longer term such as heavy duty off-road.

电池供电预计将成为轻型地面运输和一些小型短程飞机的主要推进方式。对于较大的航空航天应用，可持续航空燃料和液氢等替代品作为混合电力推进系统的一部分，从长远来看似乎很有吸引力。在所有情况下，都需要更高功率密度的集成电驱动器。提出了一个新的高海拔气候试验设施和耦合数字孪生模型，以实现世界级的破坏性电推进组件材料，设计和制造研究，达到系统级和兆瓦级。这项研究最终将有助于减少该行业和其他长期依赖混合动力推进的运输应用（如重型越野）的净零相关最终用途能源需求。
