Powered by six permanent-magnet motors and fueled by either battery power or hydrogen, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft by Joby Aviation are taking to the skies in strategic test flights. In Japan, Toyota has stepped up its collaboration with the company in the form of a fresh $500 million investment while in Dubai a new air taxi terminal is taking shape. […]
Carefully winding their cryogenically-cooled permanent magnet motor with superconducting tape instead of copper magnet wire, Airbus engineers in France have been meeting with success in their efforts to develop an electric propulsion system for aircraft that be powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The team powered-on their 500 kilowatt powertrain at the system’s core recently, marking a breakthrough in their quest to marry hydrogen-powered fuel cells and superconductivity for game-changing flight propulsion.
