- The two parties will cooperate with advanced power semiconductor technology to promote the transformation of the aviation industry to hybrid and pure electric system
- The cooperative semiconductor device will help future hybrid helicopters, aircraft, and Zeroe (zero -emission aircraft plan) and Cityairbus NextGen (next -generation urban airbasin) play an important role in an important role.
The global aerospace industry pioneer Airbus Company (Airbus, hereinafter referred to as Airbus) and service multiple electronic applications, the world's top semiconductor companies, STMICROECTRONICS, hereinafter referred to as ST; the New York Stock Exchange code: STM) has recently signed the signingA power electronic technology research and development cooperation agreement to promote more efficient and lightweight power electronic devices, which is essential for future hybrid aircraft and pure electric city aircraft.
Before signing the cooperation agreement, the two parties have fully evaluated the benefits brought by the electrometer of the broad -bands semiconductor materials to aircraft.Compared with traditional semiconductor materials such as silicon, the electrical properties of width -nitrogen (GAN) such as silicon carbide (SIC) and nitride (GAN) are better, which helps develop smaller, lighter, and more efficient high -performance electronic devices and more efficientThe system, especially suitable for applications that require high power, high -frequency or high -temperature switch operations.
The cooperative project mainly focuses on developing aviation -grade SIC and GAN power devices, packaging and modules for Airbus.The two companies will conduct advanced research and testing on physical demonstration devices such as motor control units, high and low voltage power converters, and radio energy transmission systems to evaluate the performance of power components.
About Airbus hybrid and pure electric aircraft development plan
Decarbaron flight needs to combine new fuels with disruptive technology to create a subversive solution. Among them, the oil -electric hybrid engine can improve the energy efficiency of each type of aircraft and reduce the carbon emissions of the aircraft by as much as 5%.Because helicopters are usually lighter than fixed -wing aircraft, this number may be as high as 10%.In the future, hybrids and pure electric aircraft need MW -level electrical energy, which means that power electronics need to make great improvements in terms of integration, performance, energy efficiency, and component size weight.
