Parker Meggitt, a business segment of Parker Hannifin Corporation, has announced a partnership with Airbus to develop an energy buffer (“eBuffer”) in support of the ZEROe aircraft demonstrator. Parker Meggitt is working with Airbus to build energy storage equipment that will support electric propulsion.
According to a company press release:
“The eBuffer will maximize safety, efficiency and weight while balancing electric and mechanical constraints. The eBuffer will be an important piece of the electrical system that will complement the Fuel Cell primary power source and therefore would be one of the integral components of the Airbus ZEROe demonstrator aircraft.”
The first prototype that will be tested on ground in early 2023.
