Abstract

Understanding architecture-performance-safety tradeoffs in batteries for electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft applications is crucial. A recent paper in Joule provides a comprehensive model for optimizing lithium-ion batteries for the use in these aircrafts, depending on their mission profiles and operation conditions (e.g., range, payload, altitude, etc.) in relation to the performance and safety of different battery designs.
