Electric Power Systems (EPS), a provider of energy storage solutions, today announced it has been selected as the battery provider for Elfly’s all-electric seaplane.
The companies announced their partnership for the research demonstrator program today at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023, where both companies are participating. Under the terms of the agreement, EPS says it will deliver its EPiC battery line for the initial demonstration to incorporate upgradable energy solutions. Elfly says it has embarked on a research initiative aimed at developing an amphibious plane with the projection of having 15 to 20 Noemi (No Emissions) passenger-ready crafts by 2030.
Both EPS and Elfly say they are committed to prioritising safety, performance, and sustainability in their respective domains.
EPS adds Elfly to a growing list of customers, which the company says includes the FAA, Boeing, Diamond Aircraft, Plana, REGENT, Safran, Supernal, Ampaire, Aura Aero, and VoltAero. The company says it also provides its electric powertrain system to Boeing’s CAV (Cargo Air Vehicle) and Bell Helicopter’s hybrid Advanced Air Mobility aircraft (Bell Nexus).
