Problem
Electric aircraft development is hindered by the limited energy density and flight time of current battery systems, restricting their operational range and commercial viability. Existing battery technologies often fall short of meeting stringent aviation safety standards while providing sufficient power for extended flights.
Solution
EPS develops and manufactures high-density, modular battery systems and chargers specifically designed for electric aircraft, enabling longer flight times and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Their Electric Propulsion Ion Core (EPiC) technology provides a lightweight, high-power solution that meets critical safety standards. The EPiC 2.0 module delivers up to 90 minutes of usable flight time with a 30-minute reserve, expanding the potential applications for electric aviation in regional, small aircraft, and eVTOL markets. EPS's modular design is adaptable to various aircraft types, propulsion architectures, and energy sources.
