All aircraft designers and manufacturers look for avionics components that add minimal weight to the aircraft while reducing the amount of space required for cabling and interconnects. However, the technological needs and space constraints of eVTOL applications are markedly different from what’s required in most commercial aircraft today, which presents new opportunities for rugged fiber optic (RFO) cables and connectors. In this whitepaper, TE Connectivity (TE)’s Senior Principal Development Engineer in Advanced Systems Architecture details where RFO solutions can help eVTOL design engineers.
