Description

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) has posted a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Electrified Airplane Integration Retrofit Powertrains Learnings And Novel Electric Port & Operations Related Technologies (E-AIRPLANE/PORT)". This RFI is not seeking applications for financial assistance and does not constitute a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) at this time.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather input for a potential ARPA-E program focused on the feasibility and impact of retrofitting an existing aircraft with electric powertrains developed under ARPA-E's Aviation-class Synergistically Cooled Electric-motors with iNtegrated Drives (ASCEND) program. The goal is to achieve a full integration of the electric powertrain with the aircraft and demonstrate its full functionality.

ARPA-E is particularly interested in groundbreaking technologies that enable the integration of an electric powertrain into the aircraft's main electrical and propulsion systems, as well as opportunities in airport electrification. The RFI aims to identify potential participants and gather insights to inform the development of a future funding opportunity focused on this transformative technology.

To participate, interested parties should submit their responses in PDF format to the email address ARPA-E-RFI@hq.doe.gov by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 31, 2024. For more information and detailed instructions, please refer to the RFI available at https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov.
