Electrochemical Energy Systems for Electrified Aircraft Propulsion: Batteries and Fuel Cell Systems

When:  Sep 22, 2021 from 13:00 to 15:00 (ET)
  • From 22 September – 15 October 2021 (4 weeks, 8 Lectures, 16 Hours)
  • Every Wednesday and Friday at 1300-1500 Eastern Time (all sessions will be recorded and available for replay; course notes will be available for download)
  • A joint AIAA / SAE course, bringing together the premier experts from both AIAA and SAE
  • All students will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course 

In this joint AIAA / SAE course, participants will learn about Electro-chemical Energy Systems (EES), with an emphasis on electrified aircraft propulsion and power applications. The course will present the fundamentals in chemistry, materials science, electrical, and mechanical engineering for various EESs including high voltage battery systems (Li-ion and beyond) and fuel cells (PEM, solid oxide fuel cells, and others). The challenges of each EES option will be examined as it applies to aircraft electrification, including:

  • Specific energy, efficiency, electrical, thermal, mechanical integration, operating conditions, and other technical considerations
  • Inherent hazards, risk severity, and available mitigation strategies
  • Ground handling, operations / maintenance, and recharging / refueling
  • Economics, life cycle considerations, infrastructure requirements, and certification challenges


Who Should Attend
  • This course is intended for technology and management professionals, students, and policymakers who want to understand EES technology fundamentals as well as their unique design and safety considerations and limitations in the context of electrified aircraft propulsion and power.
