Ford Powertrain engineers reveal the challenges of marrying their new in-house electric machine with the proven HF45 under aggressive vehicle program timing.
Ford stuck with a ladder frame for its electric F-150 Lightning while GM chose an all-new structure for Silverado EV that’s neither unibody nor body-on-frame.
The aerospace industry is facing immense challenges due to increased design complexity and higher levels of integration, particularly in the electrification of aircraft. These challenges can easily impact program cost and product time to market. System electrification and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) have become critical issues today. In the context of 3D electromagnetics, EMC electromagnetic compatibility ensures the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that radiated emissions from various electronic devices, such as avionics or the entire aircraft for that matter, do not interfere with other electronic products onboard the aircraft.
