Abstract
In the context of global environmental sustainability initiatives, lithium-ion batteries have become the primary power source for a multitude of applications. Consequently, the aviation industry is increasingly exploring electrification as a potential solution to mitigate emissions and combat climate change. However, the widespread adoption of this technology is hampered by the limitations of conventional batteries, particularly their low specific and volumetric energy densities. This challenge justifies current research efforts on Structural Batteries, a novel technology designed to integrate energy storage and load-bearing functionalities within a single multifunctional material structure. This approach has the potential to significantly reduce the weight of electric airplanes. This paper presents the design, manufacturing process, and promising initial performance of a prototype Structural Battery demonstrator. Furthermore, the importance of incorporating eco-design principles to ensure sustainable recycling at the battery's end-of-life is emphasized. © 2024, International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences.
