“This longer flight time signals an inflection point for the pilot training,” the company said.
EP Systems, a provider of innovative energy solutions, has announced its latest innovation: the trailblazing EPiC 2.0 aircraft energy storage system.
Compared to today’s battery technology, it provides up to 30 additional minutes of usable flight time. This opens up a host of new applications for electric aircraft.
“This really unlocks electrification for so many different customers in so many different segments,” affirmed Nathan Millecam, chief executive officer and co-founder of Electric Power Systems. “This is the first time where we’ve seen the convergence of all the technologies that we’ve been developing for over a decade now.”
EP Systems encourages industry leaders to get onboard with EPiC 1.0 now for a seamless transition later. EPiC 2.0 is a drop-in replacement for the EPiC 1.0 TSO system so it’s easy to upgrade.
Currently, one of the challenges with energy density is that it’s targeted toward short-range missions. The EPiC 2.0 module provides a significant increase in the energy density at the pack level. Additionally, it can fast charge in 30 minutes to deliver 80 percent battery capacity. This makes electric aviation a more viable prospect for commercial applications moving forward.
