Toshiba will produce engines for electric aircraft

According to the latest report, Toshiba will be involved in the production of motors, the core components of a new generation of electric aircraft. It is reported that Toshiba has developed a technology that takes into account both the output power and the small size and weight required for a medium-sized aircraft that can be used by dozens of people.

Electrification is also highly anticipated in the aviation industry due to its benefits for decarbonization. Electric planes use electrically driven blades for propulsion, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to jet engines propelled by burning fuel to inject gas.

Toshiba is reportedly leading the industry with “superconducting” technology that reduces electrical resistance to zero. Toshiba Energy Systems, a subsidiary of Toshiba, has developed a prototype machine with a maximum output of 2,000 kilowatts. This model is about one-tenth the size of a normal motor with the same output and achieves a compact and lightweight design.
