About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on the integration of electric powertrains developed under its Aviation-class Synergistically Cooled Electric-motors with iNtegrated Drives (ASCEND) program into existing aircraft, as well as opportunities in airport electrification. Through this RFI, ARPA-E seeks to gather input from stakeholders, including aircraft manufacturers, powertrain developers, certification authorities, research institutions, and airport operators, to inform the potential development of a future funding opportunity. The RFI aims to understand the feasibility and impact of retrofitting existing aircraft with ASCEND powertrains, the transformational technologies needed for integration, the steps required for technology maturation, and the innovative technologies needed for electrified aircraft airport support systems. Responses to this RFI are due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on May 31, 2024.
This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. ARPA-E will use the information gathered through this RFI for program planning purposes without attribution to the source.
Synopsis
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input for a potential ARPA-E program focused on the feasibility and impact of retrofitting an existing aircraft with electric powertrains developed under ARPA-E's Aviation-class Synergistically Cooled Electric-motors with iNtegrated Drives (ASCEND) program for a full integration with the aircraft and to show full functionality of the electric powertrain. ARPA-E is interested in groundbreaking technologies needed for a full integration of an electric powertrain into the aircraft main electrical and propulsion systems, as well as opportunities in airport electrification. This RFI aims to identify potential participants and gather insights to inform the development of a future funding opportunity focused on this transformative technology.
