Event
ARC Aerosystems supports full-scale FFLIP charging demonstration
ARC Aerosystems supplied eVTOL prototypes for real-world testing in a full-scale demonstration of high-power, multimodal charging infrastructure at Bicester, Oxfordshire.
Evidence notes
- The consortium demonstrated a 600 kW charging system intended to support electric ground vehicles, drones and eVTOL aircraft.
- ARC provided eVTOL prototypes so the project could validate high-power charging under representative conditions.
- The concluding test simultaneously charged an electric vehicle and a drone using Petalite's prototype DC charge post and power hub.
