Composites Lounge powered by JEC Group with a Panel on batteries at the recent ILA.

ILA's mission is pioneering aerospace and we from Composites Lounge will talk about the battery technology with a group of experts at the ILA Stage Aviation Future Lab that is organized by the BDLI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie e.V.

While Ilkay Özkisaoglu, Co-Founder of Composites Lounge will host the panel our panel guests include this year

Norbert Werle of Air2E
Markus Kochs-Kämper of VÆRIDION
Marc Fette of Composite Technology Center / CTC GmbH (An Airbus Company)
Eric Swedersky of CustomCells

We will begin by giving you an overview of the current and future state of aviation's propulsion, because as Marc Fette used to say "Aviation is not one-dimensional".

Vaeridion has battery cells as their core technology in their clean sheet designed aircraft model and will give you insights as to circularity and answers the question whether there will ever be an end of life?

In our round is of course a battery producer as well. Eric Swedersky will explain why BMS (battery management systems) are essential in the first place for EASA/FAA Approval.

Last, but not least we need the opinion of an aircraft fleet operator. Norbert Werle has electric planes on order. As a true pioneer we will discuss the logistic side of things and the experience future business travellers can expect from an air-taxi operator.

Thomas Belitz of BDLI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie e.V. is the central point of contact and we thank him a lot for this collaborative activity. Finally, our thanks to Clara Belitz for MC'ing.

This is the first enduser event that we will cover together with our partner JEC Group.

Stay tuned for more LinkedIn Events like this in 2024 and beyond.
