The company believes it is the first design organization system developer to receive approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) this week awarded design organization approval (DOA) to electric propulsion system developer Evolito, clearing the way for it to start the type certification process. The UK company earned its DOA barely two years after being spun off from automotive power systems specialist YASA in July 2021 to exploit new opportunities in the aviation sector.
Evolito is developing integrated electric propulsion systems that will have a power range of 100 to 200 kilowatts, incorporating motors, controllers, and cooling systems that pump oil around the housing to reduce the temperature of the power electronics and stators. These are based on the axial-flux motor technology developed by YASA that it says will deliver high power density within the space and weight confines of new electric aircraft. Over the past two years, Evolito has adapted this technology to use new advanced materials better suited to aviation applications.
