The Chinese giant, which is the world’s largest name in battery production CATLannounced a key battery for electric aircraft.
Many different companies are currently working on electric aircraft. Manufacturers who want to make aviation quieter and cleaner spend millions of dollars on electric motors and battery systems suitable for aviation. At the same time, new generation aircraft such as the flying taxi are installed directly on the electric infrastructure. Companies that want to move away from internal combustion engines, which pollute the environment, in aviation, as in the automobile side, are counting the days to commercialize the process. It is one of the very important names that brings electric planes to the agenda now. CATL happened, the firm is at Auto Shanghai We came up with a “condensed battery” with an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg.. Centering on a kind of semi-solid state cell, this battery significantly outperforms current solutions of 350 Wh/kg in terms of energy density. For comparison, the advanced 4680 battery cells in Tesla’s Model Y have a value of 244 Wh/kg.

This is specifically new generation battery developed for electric aircraftIt’s not a concept as far as it’s reported. The Chinese giant wants to take the battery, which it says offers high security, into mass production in a short time and send it to customers. CATL reports that it is currently working with electric aircraft manufacturers to learn and implement aviation-grade safety, quality and testing standards. Meanwhile, the process will not be limited to electric airplanes, but an automotive-grade version will also be launched before the new infrastructure is integrated into electric airplanes. to be driven.
