Interconnect Technologies for eVTOL Applications

For electric aircraft applications to work efficiently, high density power connectivity solutions are particularly imperative to help urban air mobility applications distribute power smoothly in any environment. Relays and connectors need to be quick and easy to install and remove, space saving, lightweight, and be able to support high vibrations and different signal configurations.

Harnessing and cable management are important elements for a wide range of applications in the field. No matter if your challenge is weight, size, harsh environments, or extreme temperatures, heat-shrinkable harness sealing components should match any and every application need you may come across. 

In this line of work, limited space can also be part of the challenge. Select flexible power feeders that are uniquely designed to be routed into tight spaces and can be customized to fit your UAM application.

Data standards in the air mobility vehicle market are diverse. High-speed copper cables offer support that make them easier to process than tape-wrapped designs, while also being customizable to fit your architectural standards. To find an end-to-end solution for your electric aircraft application, look for integrated cables that are compatible with any contact and connector components.

Today’s sophisticated networks often require avionics to have adequate bandwidth that ensures monitoring and safe control of all flight-control and navigation systems. Size and weight reductions are also needed to increase overall efficiency. 

For mission-critical applications, leverage high-reliability sensors that can withstand harsh environments. These elements must be designed specifically to meet environmental and application requirements so engineers and aircraft developers can quickly and confidently implement interconnect technology and solutions. 

An important aspect of the developing aerospace industry is giving passengers the convenience of high-performance networks, from flexible and capable in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems to high-speed internet access. To give guests that power, fiber optical flex circuit assemblies can maximize performance with the minimal space that is given in an electric aircraft.


Saving space, reducing weight, and increasing reliability within your aircraft is now more possible than ever before. Connectors are designed to install faster and easier, perform better, and expand in-cabin capabilities. Designers have multiple options in cable assembly design, connectivity, and routing, as well as high-performance aerospace sensors that cover position, pressure, temperature, tilt, and vibration that aid in the safety and comfort of your passengers. 

Various structures such as interconnects, harnessing components, sensors, and cables will help you connect your entire eVTOL system so that it works efficiently while keeping you and your passengers safe. Certain power cables and wires are highly flexible to fit in tight spaces, whereas others can be lightweight and offer outstanding chemical and fluid resistance. Sensors and fiber optics are other crucial components of the flight control and navigation of your airframe and have a range of ways they can benefit your in-flight experience.
