Wright has now demonstrated the first such system for large zero-emissions aircraft. Designed to be scalable from 500 kw to 20 MW systems, the Wright inverter targets the following levels of performance:
99.5% efficiency - a 6x improvement in heat loss over current in-production aviation inverters resulting in significantly lower thermal management loads.
30 kw/kg power density - in contrast, today’s technology delivers 10-20 kw/kg. On a standard single-aisle aircraft, this would result in a weight savings equivalent to adding an extra 5-10 passengers per flight.
