easyJet partner Wright Electric successfully tests powerful new motor

easyJet partner Wright Electric has announced that it has reached another key milestone along the way in the development and certification of its zero-emissions single-aisle aircraft, having now successfully produced and started testing a 2 megawatt electric powertrain motor – a key component for a zero emission aircraft system. The news follows the successful testing of its next-generation inverter technology earlier this year. Wright will now launch the next phase of development including integration with an in-house developed highly efficient inverter, high altitude chamber testing, and gathering testing data for future aircraft certification. Wright states that it remains committed to
