What is Airbus' solar technology?

The underlying principle is quite simple, explains Jean-Dominique Coste, who is responsible for this technology driven by Airbus’ Central Research & Technology and Blue Sky departments: “The potential of the technology is to capture sunlight and then beam it wirelessly.”

What is Airbus' Energy Transformation Roadmap?

Airbus has developed a structured and modular energy transformation roadmap applicable to all of its aerospace solutions. The roadmap includes a range of technologies such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), hydrogen either directly burnt or transformed into electricity through fuel cells, or new hybrid-electric propulsion systems.

Can Airbus use solar energy to power unmanned aerial vehicles?

Airbus, we are harvesting the sun’s energy to power the high-endurance, solar-powered stratospheric flight of unmanned aerial vehicles.

How a new energy storage system is developing in China?

Dai Jianfeng, a deputy chief engineer of China Electric Power Planning and Engineering Institute, said the new energy storage in China has been developed through diverse technology routes. According to him, lithium-ion battery is still dominant at present, but the development of compressed air and liquid flow battery is accelerating.

What is Airbus digital transformation?
