Electric flying
Aviation is undergoing a transformation. Electric drives, hybrid systems and new flight concepts such as eVTOLs are bringing about lasting change in mobility. However, with increasing electrification, the importance of electrical safety is also growing significantly. Bender supports these developments with reliable solutions for monitoring and ensuring the safe operation of highly complex electrical systems – on the ground and in the air.
Electric and hybrid drives are developing rapidly. As range and performance increase, the demands on the electrical on-board system are growing significantly. The focus is on higher system voltages and consistent design for safety – including certification and testing in accordance with aviation standards.
What is changing:
Special challenge: High-voltage IT systems
Many future-proof on-board electrical systems are designed as unearthed IT systems to avoid dangerous touch voltages in the event of single faults. However, high-voltage IT systems are new in aviation and require:
Our approach
Consistent, aviation-compatible monitoring solutions and system concepts that detect faults at an early stage and control them safely – providing the basis for efficiency, personal safety and certifiability.
With years of experience in mobility, avionics and IT systems, Bender is a sought-after partner for manufacturers, research institutions and standardisation bodies. Our solutions create transparency and safety in critical high-voltage systems:
Through our active participation in international standardisation committees, we help shape standards for electrical safety in aviation and contribute our technical expertise directly to development projects.
Electric flight is on its way to becoming a reality. Numerous initiatives and projects around the world are working to realise low-emission and safe aviation concepts. Bender is part of this development – both in research collaborations and in industrial applications.
Our goal is to provide solutions that are flexible, scalable and internationally applicable. 'One-size-fits-all' is not an option: different aircraft concepts and drive variants require individual safety solutions that also comply with standards.
The future of electric flight
The future of electric aviation depends largely on safe, robust and intelligent energy systems. With our technologies, we are helping to ensure that electric aircraft, eVTOLs and hybrid systems can be operated reliably and safely – and that tomorrow's mobility will be more sustainable.
Electrically safe take-off
The future of air travel is electric. The aim is to manufacture aircraft in a more resource-efficient manner and to make flying quieter and more environmentally friendly.
