AMSL Aero's Vertiia is an Australian-developed electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will provide rapid response air ambulance and low-cost passenger transport for rural Australia. This project will optimise a fuel cell/battery/ultracapacitor triple hybrid system for Vertiia by combining dynamic energy source models, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, aero-propulsive flight mechanics models, and accelerated degradation testing. The triple hybrid will extend the life of both batteries and fuel cells for eVTOL aircraft. It will allow AMSL to fast-track the improved durability needed for cost-competitive long-range eVTOL operations, giving them an up-front and industry-leading experience on hybrid systems for eVTOLs.

AMSL Aero的Vertiia是澳大利亚开发的电动垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机，将为澳大利亚农村地区提供快速响应的空中救护和低成本客运。该项目将通过结合动态能源模型、硬件在环仿真、航空推进飞行力学模型和加速退化测试，为Vertiia优化燃料电池/电池/超级电容器三重混合动力系统。三重混合动力将延长eVTOL飞机的电池和燃料电池的寿命。它将使AMSL能够快速跟踪具有成本竞争力的远程eVTOL运营所需的改进耐用性，为他们提供eVTOL混合动力系统的前期和行业领先的经验。
