Abstract:The aerospace industry is facing challenges similar to those of automotive industry in terms of improving emissions, fuel economy, and cost.  Another similarity is the move towards replacing mechanical and pneumatic systems with electrical systems, thus transitioning toward “more electric” architectures and hybrid propulsion systems.  To meet these challenges in the automotive industry, significant work has been done in the areas of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles.  In the case of airplanes, more electric architecture and hybrid propulsion strategies are the emerging trends.  Recently, there is also an increasing interest in flying cars, and vertical take-off and landing vehicles (VTOL) to be used as Air taxis. The electrification, in addition to reducing emissions, is also enabling expedient operation for connected vehicles.  This presentation examines the synergies between the electrical systems for electric/hybrid vehicles, electric and hybrid aircrafts, and flying cars/VTOL vehicles. In addition, this presentation also discusses how the electrification is enabling the advancement of connected cars, Air Taxis, and changing the future of mobility.
