VIVAERO A guide to connector selection for eVTOL aircraft PEI Genesis reveals how electrical connector specification informs eVTOL design and performance. The electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft market is a high-growth sector, with Fortune Business Insights estimating it will grow from $1.4bn in 2025 to $17.4bn by 2034. Like conventional aircraft, a core component of eVTOL aircraft is the humble electrical connector. However, specific requirements for these can vary significantly compared with their traditional counterparts. Here Sean Fitall, European product manager at aviation connector specialist PEI-Genesis, explores the role of electrical connector selection in good eVTOL design programmes. When specifying interconnects for aircraft systems the main considerations are voltage, current, size and weight. At the heart of eVTOL aircraft performance is the need to manage high-voltage electrical power systems. As eVTOL are typically powered by advanced lithium-...
