Electric power Energy is stored across three redundant 400 V lithium-polymer battery packs, each with nine 12S modules and a capacity of 10 Ah for around 12 kWh total maximum onboard battery energy to enable extended initial flight testing. Aergility plans to lower that by two- thirds for the production version, once it is confident that the ATLIS can fly safely without the need for such extensive and heavy power reserves. A series of custom BMS boards made in-house manages the constant discharging, recharging and cell balancing inherent in MAT, and there is one BMS for each pack. The entire production battery system with the three redundant battery packs will weigh 125 lb. Each pack also powers two rotors – one powers the front-right and rear- left, one for the front-left and rear-right, and one for the two middle ones. This ensures that control is maintained over roll and pitch attitudes for safe landing if one pack should fail, and in the event of a bird strike to a rotor, switching off the associated pack will similarly depower both the damaged rotor and its partner. “When it came to designing the rotors, we realised we could sacrifice some hover performance in favour of forward flight optimisation, because we don’t actually spend much time in hover,” Yonge says. “Also, the e-motors had to be very efficient for take-off yet work well at near-zero power from low rpm – most motors can do that if cogging isn’t an issue.” As mentioned, the motor controller Aergility ATLIS | Dossier We realised we could sacrifice some hover performance in favour of forward flight, because we don’t spend much time in hover Enhanced sensors GNSS-denied navigation Internal DAA capabilities Improved RTK positioning Advanced failure detection Real Size Embention.com Quality Meets Performance.
