Now, over 200 years later the world is moving into the next phase of electricity use – the electrification of transportation. Not just for electric vehicles, the electrification of aerospace will allow a dramatic improvement to flight enabling a quiet, clean and highly reliable solution for aircraft propulsion.
Mr. Senti’s presentation will tie together the role of magnetics, electricity, the future of electric transportation and challenges supplying the electrical energy.
