Munich-based aircraft manufacturer Vaeridion has opened its electric battery development lab, located at the Bosch Collaboration Campus in Holzkirchen, Germany, where it will build safe-to-fly batteries for commercial passenger aircraft.
The lab is designed for all specific manufacturing steps from single battery cells up to fully integrated battery modules. The facility will produce, and test in-house developed high voltage battery modules and powertrains, as well as individual battery cells, that are comprised of cylindrical cells.
According to Dr. Sebastian Seeman, Chief Technical Officer of Vaeridion, the modules will be located and integrated exclusively in the aircraft’s wing.
“The modules are arranged in spanwise direction, yet structurally decoupled from the wing bending, hence they bear no structural loads caused by aerodynamics and wing mass,” Seeman said in an emailed statement to AeroTime. “The battery consists of many individual and isolated modules. Each module is inherently safe to handle and designed to withstand an internal thermal runaway without harming the remainder of the aircraft or humans.”
The manufacturer uses off-the-shelf lithium-ion battery cells with such energy densities (cell levels), that are sufficient to cover a good…
