Development and integration of efficient charging system for electric multicopters with MTOW 1 ton

Purpose and goal

GI Lift develops a logistics system with a fossil-free, electric multicopter. Net lifting power 1 ton. Primary use in forestry to avoid damage to ground and standing trees. The system contributes to a CO2-free transition. The system places great eligibility requirements and stresses on batteries, cables and electrical components both during charging and operation, and requires automated battery replacement. The goal of the project is an efficient, safe, fossil-free, fast and efficient system for charging batteries and changing them on a flying craft, in our case a multicopter.

Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Working powerful system for generating electricity in the field. Efficient replacement of batteries on the multicopter. Robust design of the electric system on the multicopter. Automated system for battery replacement on the multicopter. A new logistics system that contributes to the transition to a CO2-free society.

Planned approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We intend to work closely with LiU and relevant research institutes (Rise, Santa Anna Research Institute) for the analysis of forces, voltages, temperatures, etc. that will occur in the system. In addition, we intend to work together with specialized companies in different areas of expertise to get the best possible results. The work is run as a project with defined work packages, sub-projects, milestones, resources and final goals.
