Electric Charging for
eVTOL Aircraft Is Different from Cars

If you think you can model eVTOL aircraft
charging based on the same systems used for electric cars, think
again. That is the message from Josh Portlock, the CTO of Electro, an
Australia-based company that manufactures electric aircraft charging products. Portlock
delivered his pitch at the recent Vertical Aviation Safety Team (VAST)
conference.
“The electric aviation revolution is coming
and we are going to need high power standardized charging infrastructure to
scale with global demand,” Portlock said. “Aviation charging is very different
from automotive charging. Aircraft can’t drive right up to the charger like a
car can, and they have wingspans to deal with. You need to move the charger and
plug it into the aircraft because it’s likely out on the apron, with maybe half
a dozen aircraft that might be in the way. You want to make sure that you can,
as quickly as possible, start charging an aircraft.”
