Jaunt Air Mobility announced the Air Force Research\nLaboratory awarded the company a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)\ncontract to develop Extreme Fast Charging (XFC) solutions for the development\nof electric aircraft for large scale production and fleet management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe advent of electric aviation creates a need for the\ndevelopment of extreme fast charging solutions to enable the next generation of\nelectric aviation,\u201d states Martin Peryea, CEO of Jaunt Air Mobility. \u201cAs an OEM\nin the design and development of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL)\naircraft, we are pleased to be working with BAE Systems and Binghamton\nUniversity on this effort. No standardized aerospace charger solutions are widely\navailable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract is to develop a commercial XFC solution that\nintegrates XFC power electronics, battery cooling, and smart communications\nwith the vehicle and battery system to support both on-vehicle charging and\ndepot-level charging needs. The solution leverages Binghamton University\u2019s XFC\nresearch in high-power, high voltage charging solutions with advancements to\nsupport the broad range of platform voltage, security, and safety requirements\nfor aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the platform provider, Jaunt Air Mobility provides the\nplatform and fleet requirements while leveraging BAE Systems\u2019 experience in\nintegrating and fielding over 14000 high-power, high-voltage battery systems,\nand power electronics solutions to commercialize the XFC solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are\nhighly competitive programs that encourage domestic small businesses to engage\nin Federal Research\/Research and Development (R\/R&D) with the potential for\ncommercialization. Through a competitive awards-based program, STTR enables\nsmall businesses to explore their technological potential and provide the\nincentive to profit from its commercialization. Central to the STTR program is\nthe partnership between small businesses and nonprofit research institutions.\nSTTR is to bridge the gap between basic science and the commercialization of\nresulting innovations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
