Aviation has taken a significant step forward with the certification of the ENGINeUS 100 electric motor from Safran Electrical & Power by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This achievement represents an unprecedented advance in aviation electrification and the development of new sustainable propulsion designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Rigorous Certification Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ENGINeUS 100 obtained its certification after an exhaustive testing process that included 1,500 hours of certification trials and over 100 hours of flight under real conditions. This motor is the result of four years of joint work between Safran and EASA to establish specific airworthiness standards for electric propulsion and develop the appropriate methods for its evaluation and certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting-Edge Innovation and Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ENGINeUS 100 stands out for its innovative design, which integrates power electronics and control directly into the motor. Its compact and lightweight architecture, along with its air-cooling system, makes it a versatile solution for various aerial mobility applications. This motor delivers a maximum power output of 125 kW with an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 5 kW\/kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
