TE Connectivity eVTOL (Electric-vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft)
Empowering Engineers to Solve Problems Moving the World Forward
Revolutionizing Private Transportation
Yesterday’s dreams of electric-powered air taxis and flying cars/personal air vehicles (PAVs) are turning into real Urban Air Mobility (UAM) projects. Hundreds of commercial-drone and electric-vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft (eVTOL) programs are driving advances in electric-propulsion motors, power distribution, positioning systems, telenetworking, and cockpit/mission systems. These opportunities are inspiring designers to explore components that can optimize size, weight, and power (SWaP) for line replaceable units (LRUs) in UAM innovations. That’s why TE Connectivity (TE) offers solutions to handle high voltages and high kW peak output. We also provide interconnect technologies to handle the low-voltage and high-bandwidth needs of mission systems and inflight-entertainment (IFE), connectivity, and control applications.
