Successful Testing of Advanced Power Electronics for Aircraft Applications

The research team at Fraunhofer IISB has successfully tested advanced power electronics with the highest power density tailored for aircraft applications on a high-voltage bus for the first time.

Fraunhofer IISB  is developing multiple prototypes for a megawatt (MW) fuel cell hybrid-electric aircraft powertrain nearing the final stages of completion and on July 30th, 2025, the NEWBORN technical lead, Ondrej Kotaba, and program coordinator, Miroslav Matousek, have visited Fraunhofer IISB in Erlangen and assisted the ongoing power electronics tests.
