Innovative Medium Power Electric Thrust utilisation System (IMPETuS)

IMPETuS项目将是一项合作研究计划，将为TRL 6演示一种可扩展的、模块化的、功率密度高的电力推进电机驱动系统（MDS），旨在实现混合动力/电力飞机推进应用。动力系统将采用创新技术设计，以优化热和电气性能，先进材料和制造方法。该项目将考虑电力推进的安全和认证标准，并根据潜在最终客户的规格制定电动/混合动力系统的功能要求。该项目旨在将英国供应链定位于未来的电动/混合动力平台，目标是从小型到大型混合动力飞机，如直升机/支线飞机，到大型商用飞机，包括下一代单通道（NGSA）。与顾问委员会一起沿着的合作伙伴将致力于制定该计划，为未来的混合动力/电力推进平台发展英国供应链。

Project IMPETuS will be a collaborative research programme leading to TRL 6 demonstration of a scalable, modular, power-dense electric propulsion motor drive system (MDS) aimed at hybrid/electric aircraft propulsion applications. The powertrain will be designed using innovative technologies for optimised thermal and electrical performance, advanced materials and manufacturing methods. The project will consider safety and certification standards for electric propulsion and develop functional requirements for an electric/hybrid powertrain derived from potential end customers' specifications. The project aims to position the UK supply chain for future platforms with electric/hybrid powertrains aimed at small to large hybrid aircrafts like helicopters/regional through to large commercial aircraft including Next Generation Single Aisle (NGSA). The partners along with the advisory board will aim to shape the programme to grow a UK supply chain for future hybrid/electric propulsion platforms.
