The Aerospace Technology Center (CTA) and the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique (\u00c9NA) at C\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit will be contributing to a project to convert aircraft to electric power by high-tech company and world leader in pilot training, CAE, and Floridian aircraft manufacturer Piper Aircraft.<\/p>\n
The aim of this initiative is to develop a conversion kit for Piper Archers already in service, to be approved by Transport Canada and the FAA, and to market an electric version of this aircraft.<\/p>\n
The Aerospace Technology Center (CTA), in conjunction with \u00c9NA, will be strategically contributing to the changeover of the test aircraft's electric propulsion system. This operation will be carried out by its research team specialized in the development and integration of aeronautical systems, which will be able to document the process and better understand the challenges and issues involved.<\/p>\n
\"Teachers from the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique, in particular the propulsion experts, will assist the CTA research team. They will develop a better understanding of electric motors and the issues involved in replacing piston combustion engines with electric motors. Professors will be able to incorporate this knowledge into their teaching, thereby training a new generation of technicians capable of working on the most environmentally-friendly engines,\" says Pascal D\u00e9silets, Director of \u00c9NA.<\/p>\n
\"This flagship project will serve as a technology showcase that will have a direct impact on the entire R&D and aerospace training ecosystem in Quebec. It will serve as a springboard for developing world-class expertise in the field of aviation electrification,\" said Francis Archambault, General Manager of the Aerospace Technology Centre.<\/p>\n
\"We are pleased to collaborate with CTA and \u00c9NA, two world-class institutions that will support CAE's electric aircraft modification program and contribute, with their solid expertise, to shaping the future of sustainable aviation,\" said Marc St-Hilaire, Vice President, Technology and Innovation, CAE.<\/p>\n
The Aerospace Technology Center will take advantage of this opportunity to expand its knowledge of electric propulsion systems, and will subsequently pursue research and development in this crucial field. In addition, the \u00c9NA will be able to train technicians capable of working on these new engines, and offer refresher training to technicians already on the job market.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the expertise that will be developed by the Aerospace Technology Center and the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique, Quebec will be able to turn the corner on green aeronautical engines more quickly, and play a world leadership role.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1964, the \u00c9cole nationale d'a\u00e9rotechnique (\u00c9NA) at C\u00e9gep \u00c9douard-Montpetit is the world's leading aerotechnical institute. Its expertise is based on the exceptional know-how of its employees and its close links with industry. Its specialized college programs in Aerospace Engineering Techniques (including the DEC-BAC in Aerospace Engineering), Aircraft Maintenance Techniques and Avionics Techniques (including the DEC-BAC in Avionics) are offered in its $110 million facilities, which include 6 hangars housing 38 aircraft, and are located on the airport tarmac in the Saint-Hubert borough.
