TOGETHER, EVTOL IS OURS

High-power, high-voltage, high-bandwidth interconnect technologies for electric Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft (eVTOL). See how we can help build your future eVTOL platform.

Providing Broad Options to Meet eVTOL's SWaP Challenges

The ongoing expansion of megacities – urban areas of more than 10 million people – will increase traffic beyond the ability of tolls, autonomous cars, and congestion pricing zones to provide relief. In response to this challenge, companies are already testing alternative urban air mobility (UAM) solutions. 

 

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft programs are driving advances in electric propulsion motors, power distribution, positioning systems, tele-networking, and cockpit systems. These innovations are inspiring designers to explore components that optimize size, weight, and power in eVTOL systems.  

 

With deep experience in the automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors, TE Connectivity works with industry standards groups – like the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and ARINC – to address tomorrow’s pressing challenges. From power distribution to in-flight entertainment and cabin features, TE experts are directly involved in helping designers “follow the wire” to select the appropriate advanced and urban air mobility solutions to lighten the load, save space, and boost performance.
