Dovetail, an Australian-Spanish pioneer in electric aviation, and Crisalion Mobility, a European leader in the development of efficient, safe, and sustainable electric mobility solutions, are to undertake their first collaboration.
This strategic partnership marks a significant step forward in the electrification of air mobility. Dovetail, known for its expertise in converting conventional aircraft into electric and developing new electric aircraft concepts, has been developing sophisticated battery packs specifically for aviation applications. These battery packs, which comply with rigorous standards such as DO-311 and DO-160G, are designed to be fully certified under various regulatory environments, including EASA, CASA, and FAA.
Crisalion, currently developing its Integrity eVTOL, designed to accommodate up to five passengers and a pilot, has shown keen interest in Dovetail’s battery technology. Both companies are committed to working together to customize and further develop Dovetail’s battery modules to meet Crisalion’s specific performance and timeline requirements. The collaboration aims to optimise the battery packs for integration into eVTOL airframes, enhancing the performance and efficiency of their electric drivetrains. Dovetail will also be evaluating the battery technology currently being developed by Crisalion.
This collaboration is set to include a comprehensive integration process, where Dovetail will provide prototype battery modules for initial functional and integration testing. As per the agreement, following successful certification of Dovetail’s battery system, the partnership anticipates a potential further agreement for the supply of Dovetail’s battery systems to Crisalion.
