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.

The missions of 2012 and 2020 overlap in technology.

Electronic controls slash engine fuel needs

The U.S. EPA data say engine horsepower is the highest ever, while average displacement remains near an all-time low.

Addressing the challenges will require stronger collaboration within and outside the automotive ecosystem.
