Aerospace Applications
Emission-free Above the Clouds
Electrically powered drone systems and eVTOL aircraft equipped with nanoFlowcell® energy technology represent a development path toward safer and emission-free aviation. In contrast to lithium-ion batteries, nanoFlowcell® systems operate with high intrinsic stability and are not susceptible to thermal runaway, an essential advantage in aerospace environments where operational safety, system reliability and predictable behaviour are critical.
The bi-ION® electrolyte enables rapid and straightforward refuelling, supporting near-continuous operation of eVTOL platforms. This makes nanoFlowcell® suitable for aviation segments with high utilisation rates such as urban air mobility, logistics operations and emergency-response applications. The combination of compact propulsion architecture, low noise emissions and sustainable energy supply aligns with current research priorities for environmentally responsible flight operations.
Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL)
eVTOL refers to Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft, a class of airborne systems that combine properties of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. These platforms are designed for short- to medium-range missions, point-to-point transport and operations in constrained airspace. Integrating nanoFlowcell® technology into such systems reduces emissions, increases operational stability and enables energy strategies that differ fundamentally from conventional battery-dependent designs.
