“Within the framework of a joint project of the Advanced Research Foundation and CJSC SuperOx, laboratory tests of the elements of the aviation integrated electric power system were carried out for the first time in the world based on a single high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) platform consisting of a rechargeable battery, HTSC cable, HTSC current limiting device and HTSC- electric motor, ”RIA Novosti reports the message.
It is noted that during the tests, the power supply of the engine was provided only due to a specially developed high-power battery.
It is reported that the tests were carried out in conditions of simulating take-off and landing, charge and discharge of the battery in flight, as well as emergency conditions.
The Foundation for Advanced Research, that an appropriate project is being implemented, to create all-electric planes and helicopters that differ from existing aircraft models in more advanced operational characteristics.
