electric batteries

Embry-Riddle undergraduates will travel to Brazil to explore strategies for cooling electric aircraft batteries.

Manufacturer Vaeridion is designing a zero-emission regional aircraft for up to nine passengers, with trips spanning up to about 300 sm.

The evaluation is designed to verify the pack can withstand the impact of a crash from 50 feet, which could cause the battery to leak, catch fire, or explode similar to a fuel tank.
