Key Points
• The shift toward greater electrification in aviation
aims to eliminate fossil fuel reliance by embracing
electric propulsion.
• The major engineering challenge in electric
aviation is managing the increased aircraft weight
caused by batteries, electric motors, and cabling,
all of which affect flight efficiency.
• Electrification demands extensive new
infrastructure, such as high-capacity airport
charging stations, which require significant
investment and grid upgrades to support
sustainable power needs.
• Analog Devices is advancing electric aviation by
developing power management semiconductor
solutions and sensors to optimize electric
propulsion systems and digitize aviation.
• Amphenol contributes to electric aviation by
creating high-performance connectivity solutions
and using advanced materials to enhance the
reliability and manage the weight of electric
aircraft systems.
