Sky-high with ceramic embedding: ultra-light-weight power module for hybrid electric aviation

Short Message /

Small but mighty, highly reliable ultra-performance power modules are the foundation for the evolution of aviation from combustion to electric drives. Check out our latest all-ceramics high temperature low weight power module in sandwich design

Check out our latest all-ceramics high temperature low weight power module in sandwich design:

  • Half-bridge power module for aviation application with power-to-weight ratio greater than 15 kVA/g
  • Low inductive 1200V SiC design for 200 A
  • Ceramics embedding for high operation temperature and low CTE-missmatch 

To make flying more sustainable, we are conducting cutting-edge R&D on hybrid-electric aircraft in several projects within the European Clean Aviation programme.
This module, developed by our team around Hubert Rauh and Maximilian Hofmann, is our contribution to the HECATE project.  
With HECATE, a truly great project came to a successful completion in March.
