THE RACE TO ELECTRIFY THE SKIES IS UNDERWAY. BY 2030, THE GLOBAL AIRCRAFT ELECTRIFICATION MARKET WILL HIT $20 BILLION, BUT WITHOUT RETHINKING WIRING AND CABLE, THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC FLIGHT MAY STALL BEFORE TAKE-OFF.
However, such an overhaul requires uniquely designed interconnect components to meet a new set of stringent needs. Electricity-powered or data-driven aerospace and military systems require higher power density wiring to manage high-voltage architectures above 300 volts (V).
In today’s electronic avionic systems, 1 kilovolt (kV) supports high-power sensors, electrified propulsion or an aircraft’s environmental system. This must be paired with lightweight cable solutions, that not only ensure weight and space optimisation, but also enhance electromagnetic compatibility and improve thermal management.
This whitepaper explores how electrification is reimagining aerospace wiring. With voltages rising, we explore how lighter materials like fibre optic and composite...
Electrification challenges explored in aerospace guide
~ Interconnect distributor provides practical advice in newly published paper ~
Aerospace interconnect distributor, WireMasters, has published a new technical guide designed to help engineers navigate the fast-emerging demands of electric and data driven aircraft. The guide is published as the aerospace industry faces challenges surrounding rising voltages and evolving standards in electric aircraft. It explores new approaches to cabling that contribute towards safe, well-shielded cable systems, driving the industry’s transition to electricity.
The US military targets hybridisation of its entire non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035, and the commercial aviation sector works towards the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. The guidance from WireMasters offers a timely reference point for an industry under pressure to meet climate goals and defence modernisation targets.
