Key Takeaways:
Embraer and Collins Aerospace have begun flight testing an advanced ice protection system utilizing carbon nanotube electro thermal heating technology (CNT).
Installed on an Embraer Phenom 300E, the CNT system offers significant advantages over traditional heaters, including 25% lower energy consumption, lighter weight, and greener manufacturing processes.
This collaboration and innovative technology are key steps towards the companies' shared goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation by 2050.
A collaboration between Embraer and Collins Aerospace has culminated in the demonstration of an advanced ice protection system utilizing More Electric Aircraft (MEA) technology.
On July 20, the two companies began its flight test campaign in Gavião Peixoto, Brazil, for its carbon nanotube electro thermal heating technology (CNT).
