BAE and Jaunt Air Mobility Collaborate on Electric Energy Management Systems for Urban Air Mobility Platforms

BAE Systems and Jaunt Air Mobility will explore the development of electric energy management systems.

BAE Systems is collaborating with Jaunt Air Mobility to explore the development of electric energy management systems for urban air mobility vehicles through a memorandum of understanding (MOU).

During this collaboration, both companies will investigate product development for the future of aircraft electrification. The companies will also work together to examine aircraft power management needs and gain a deeper understanding of the extension of urban traffic into the airspace.

"The collaboration with Jaunt Air Mobility leverages the strengths of two industry-leading companies to develop technology for a new ecosystem," said Ehtisham Siddiqui, vice president and general manager of Controls and Avionics Solutions at BAE Systems. "This strategic collaboration builds on our two decades of heritage as we develop and certify controls and energy management systems for the future of flight."
