Evolito Collaborates with Airbus on UK-Funded Electric Wheel Taxi System Development

SPACE ECONOMY

Evolito Limited is collaborating with Airbus on Project SONATA, an electric wheel taxi system funded by the UK Government. The system allows aircraft to taxi independently with engines off, targeting a 47% reduction in emissions.

Evolito will develop a low speed, high torque electric motor using its axial flux technology, achieving 56Nm/kg and 350kW peak power. This partnership includes the University of Southampton and others, enhancing the aerospace sector's sustainability and innovation efforts. The project follows the successful UToPEA initiative.
