In the changing realm of aviation, electrification is emerging as an advancement that offers a vision of more efficient, environmentally friendly and secure air travel. At Parker, we take pride in leading this shift using our engineering know-how, innovative mindset and broad portfolio to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Embracing innovation
Innovation is core to our Purpose. Our team members strive for excellence every day through cutting-edge technology and engineering breakthroughs that help deliver a better tomorrow. We believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As we focus on the challenges of the future and the technological advancements in electrification today, we are redefining the standards of performance and reliability.
With the integration of Parker Aerospace and Parker Meggitt, our portfolio of technologies in this space is the broadest and most extensive in the industry. We continue to explore new technologies as new opportunities arise. Whether we are developing lightweight electric solutions or pioneering new technologies, we help our clients achieve their goals without compromising safety or performance.
Across Parker, our teams are developing new ways to solve tomorrow’s challenges. Electric aircraft demand more power storage, and our modular lithium batteries enable higher energy densities and allow for fast and simple capacity changes. Our electrically powered hydraulic powerpacks utilize power-on-demand technology that can significantly reduce power consumption and automatically deliver smart power when and where it is needed. Our Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in navigation systems, based on MEMS technology, utilizes smaller and lighter apparatus. This solution is as accurate as other high-cost solutions like fiber optic gyros. Parker is also developing smaller electric braking solutions from our proven pedigree found on the A220. These solutions allow for greener, safer, more sustainable electric aircraft.
Commitment to safety
As we progress as an industry, Parker is unwavering in our dedication to upholding safety standards. Through stringent testing procedures and quality control measures, our team is working to guarantee that each component we manufacture surpasses industry safety standards.
The electrification sector poses new challenges, especially when it comes to managing energy systems. Parker engineers are creating and evaluating systems that are not just efficient but are built with an eye to safety and security. Whether it’s mechanisms or innovative thermal management solutions at the component or system level, safety is a top priority in all our electrification endeavors.
Engineering excellence
Our success in electrification is built upon our team’s engineering skills. With a blend of knowledge and experience, we can take on challenges and deliver top-notch solutions in a collaborative work environment that nurtures innovation.
In addition, our aftermarket Services and Support Operations Team enhances the value we offer to our clients. We provide support and maintenance services to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of our electrification solutions over time.
Sustainability: A core value at Parker
Looking ahead, we are enthusiastic about the potential of electrification. We envision a future where electric aircraft, combined with other expansive, environmentally conscious solutions, set new standards in our industry. Our goal is to continue working with our customers to achieve more secure and sustainable results that redefine aviation. These developments will ultimately make green regional and long-haul flight more attainable by reducing weight, burning less fuel, and prioritizing safety and reliability.
At Parker, we are actively shaping the future of aviation. Through our dedication to progress, safety and sustainability, we encourage you to join us on this journey as we shift towards electrification and a greener tomorrow for the industry.
