The Electrified Skies: Battery Design Challenges for Electric Aircraft

In this week's podcast, we are investigating the challenges of designing batteries for electric aircraft with Dr. Graham Dudgeon from MathWorks. Graham has some great insights on how modeling and simulation are helping aerospace engineers tackle the thermal, electrical, and mechanical complexities of these cutting-edge power systems. Graham and I also chat about how computational tools map to the technology development cycle, and why simulating abnormal conditions is crucial for meeting strict aerospace safety requirements. Also this week, I take a look at an exciting new breakthrough: a method for lithium recycling that can transform battery waste into fresh, usable lithium feedstock.
