🌟 **A Glimpse into Aviation Innovation!** 🌟 At the forefront of aeronautical research, Dr. Alexander Lippisch and the team at Collins Radio Company’s Aeronautics Research Laboratories explored groundbreaking concepts in combining thrust and lift into a single process. One of their remarkable creations was the Collins Aerodyne, a pioneering design featuring a wingless tubular fuselage—essentially an annular wing—powered by two engines with contra-rotating propellers. This innovative design channeled air downward and out through controllable flaps, enabling vertical take-offs and landings. The Aerodyne concept was so ahead of its time that it saw further development by the Dornier company in the late 1960s. It's fascinating to reflect on how these early ideas continue to influence modern aerospace engineering! 🚀 #AviationHistory #Innovation #AerospaceEngineering #VTOL

TL;DR - Excited to share that as per 1 November 2023 I’ve joined the Elysian team as Head of Funding. After 2 years of research Elysian has just launched while unveiling its E9X conceptual design; an industry-leading battery-electric aircraft capable of carrying 90 passengers on flights up to 800 km. - On our world trip with the family last year we covered a significant distance, also by air travel. While an unforgettable experience for us and the kids we probably spent all of our carbon budget for the rest of our lives as well. During our trip, I got interested in the subject of sustainable aviation. Would my kids be able to do a similar trip with their kids in ~30 years from now? Several solutions are being worked on to decarbonize the aviation sector with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), hydrogen (H2) and battery-electric attracting the most attention for their potential to decarbonize aviation. While we likely need a combination of all solutions, battery-electric will play a significant role. With continuously improving battery prices and energy densities and, fundamentally, with its high end-to-end / ‘well-to-wake’ efficiency being up to 5x better than the other technologies it will be (very) cost competitive to operate while leaving the non-wasted renewable energy to still decarbonize other energy uses. Battery-electric aircraft, therefore, will be preferred and used to their maximum potential. Now, after 2 years of having followed a first principles approach in reassessing the real potential of battery-electric aviation the team has come up with a design optimized around battery-electric propulsion: the E9X, to enter into service in 2033, is capable of carrying 90 people on flights up to 800 km (based on 360 Wh/kg at pack level), and further as battery energy densities continue to rise. With those features the E9X has a significant and growing potential to decarbonize shorter-range flights. Note that <1.000km flights represent half of all flights in the world and 20% of global aviation carbon emissions which can then be avoided, or even more in a web approach. Of course there is still a lot of work to be done (and funding needed) to further develop the E9X in coming years but I have great confidence in the team, and the added industry experience of its advisors and the wider Panta group. Anyway, excited to have joined the team as Head of Funding and help them get zero-emission flights a step closer. 🚀 ⚡

A great application in aviation , but if it is developed in ships or boats thrust impellers will gain better thrust and maneuverability added with fuel consumption relative to long routes accomplished.
