Hello to all the graduate students and researchers dedicating yourselves to the advancement of drones and next-generation air mobility (UAM, eVTOL)! Welcome to the first installment of our deep-dive series on the most critical, yet arguably the most challenging, component of drone design: the Battery. As the mission scopes of drones expand from simple hobbyist…

Hello to all the graduate students and researchers dedicating yourselves to the research and development of drones and next-generation air mobility (UAM, eVTOL)! When discussing drone performance, the ‘battery’ is an absolutely indispensable core component. To increase the aircraft’s payload and maximize flight time, a deep understanding of battery chemical characteristics, high-voltage design, and sophisticated…
