'Harsh' eVTOL Operating Demands Shorten Battery Life

With electric aviation still in its infancy, eVTOL developers have largely been relying on the same lithium-ion battery cells found in electric ground vehicles […] Although the performance of lithium-ion batteries in EVs is well understood, their application in the aviation industry is relatively uncharted, […] To gain a better understanding, researchers […] conducted a study into the effects that an eVTOL aircraft's flight profile will have on lithium-ion batteries after repeated cycling, simulating typical air taxi operations. The research team found that the power and performance demands for eVTOL flight reduce battery performance and longevity, which could potentially pose a safety threat.
