In the evolving landscape of aircraft electrification and progress towards advanced air mobility, safety has never been more paramount in an industry that flies the extra mile towards this pursuit. Predicting the possibilities of various fault scenarios in a comprehensive manner from a system's perspective while ensuring faster time to market and achieving certification objectives is a delicate balance. By using advanced simulation software, engineers can now effectively pressure test a wide range of mission scenarios and analyze component and system failures — while reducing the reliance on expensive prototypes and speeding up the development.
This 45-minute webinar will introduce a physics-driven, multi-fidelity systems approach to simulate electrified aircraft and airplane systems to:
- Study potential drivers and scenarios of catastrophic safety events such as battery thermal runaway
- Analyze highly transient power-draw events like takeoff and landing with turbulent air wakes and the effect on aged battery state of charge, inverter-motor interactions, and more
- Investigate potentially catastrophic events like a motor failure in an eVTOL aircraft and its impact on other systems such as thermal management, other motors that will now have a higher power demand, etc.
- Explore the design and failure space effectively ahead of planning testing protocols
- Train fault-detection algorithms to the identify root cause of abnormal behaviors
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
