Material Selection for Electric Aircraft Design with Ansys Granta
Electroflight set out to develop an all-electric aircraft capable of breaking the world speed record while advancing aerospace electrification technologies. Achieving this goal required a lightweight airframe, efficient cooling systems, advanced battery technology and careful material selection to meet performance, weight and sustainability targets.
Using Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, Discovery and the Ansys Granta product suite, Electroflight integrated materials data directly into its simulation workflow, assessed sustainability and regulatory compliance, and selected suitable materials for critical battery components. The approach enabled faster concept evaluation, supported environmental impact assessments and helped solve complex material selection challenges for the aircraft’s development.
