“Electroflight needed to select a material with a glass transition temperature that was greater than the battery operating temperature, which was a difficult challenge. The Granta material database accelerated the task of searching for and selecting a suitable alternative.” Mark Collins Lead Mechanical Simulation Engineer / Electroflight Ansys + Electroflight CASE STUDY /2 Material Selection for Speed & Sustainability at Electroflight // Material Selection for Speed & Sustainability at Electroflight Electroflight’s objective was to break the world speed record for the fastest all-electric aircraft, becoming a testbed for advances in aerospace electrification. It broke this record in late 2021. To achieve its performance targets required a lightweight, low-drag airframe and new ele
