Description

Second in the industrially-oriented conference series on the application of superconducting and associated technologies to air transport, aiming to identify engineering and commercial challenges and opportunities.

Superconducting technologies – in particular superconducting power systems and electric motors – are likely to be key to the electrification of larger and / or longer-range aircraft.

Introduction
Superconducting technologies – in particular superconducting power systems and electric motors – are likely to be key to the electrification of larger and/or longer-range aircraft. The application of these and associated technologies such as hydrogen fuel are at a very early stage, but the potential is clear.

Research and development into all the relevant technologies are underway. As they progress towards deployment over the next couple of decades, the conference committee is keen to see knowledge about the different projects shared, to help identify the scientific, engineering, commercial, and operational challenges both aircraft and infrastructure need to overcome.

At the same time, we wish to highlight the significant commercial and engineering opportunities throughout the supply chain, from component manufacturing through to OEM, support, and operations. Finally, we hope to help foster and develop collaborations and investments to deliver, in time, the aim of electrified air transport at any scale.
