Much like a circuit breaker in a residential home, a circuit breaker on an aircraft helps protect the plane by removing power from the system when it senses an electric fault.

Key Points: 
  • Much like a circuit breaker in a residential home, a circuit breaker on an aircraft helps protect the plane by removing power from the system when it senses an electric fault.
  • RTX's novel solid-state technology will enable its circuit breaker to handle five times the power of the largest circuit breaker flying today, with the ability to interrupt thousands of amps of current in less than 100 microseconds.
  • "Without new circuit breakers that can manage higher loads, hybrid-electric aircraft won't be possible," said Andreas Roelofs, RTX vice president of research and RTRC director.
  • In addition to the solid-state circuit breaker, the company is also developing megawatt-class motor drive systems, a hybrid-electric flight demonstrator and participating in the European Union's Clean Aviation SWITCH project .
