Flying cars (Air Taxi/Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing Vehicle eVTOL) need slip rings to realize stable transmission of power, signals, and data, and to ensure the efficient operation of flight control systems, rotor motors, sensors, and other key components. Below are the characteristics and functions of slip rings in flying cars.
Flying Car Slip Rings Features
1. High reliability and durability
￭ Adopting high-performance materials (precious metal contact, gold-plated conductor), it can operate stably for a long time under complicated environment.
￭ Anti-vibration and anti-shock design, adapting to the high dynamic environment under flight condition.
￭ High stability ensures that the flight control signals are not interfered with, preventing incorrect operation.
2. Lightweight & High Power Transmission
￭ Adopting lightweight alloy shell to minimize the impact on the overall weight of the flying car and improve endurance.
￭ High power transmission capability can support the operation of high power consumption devices such as motors and sensors.
3.Low Noise & High Signal Integrity
￭ Electromagnetic shielding design, effectively reducing signal interference and ensuring high-precision data transmission.
￭ Low contact resistance, reducing energy loss and improving power transmission efficiency.
4.Adaptation to extreme environments
￭ High and low temperature resistance (-55℃~+125℃), suitable for high altitude and extreme climate environment.
￭ Waterproof and dustproof (IP67 or above), adaptable to outdoor flight environment.
5.High-speed rotation support
￭ Suitable for high speed rotor, propulsion system, can withstand high speed rotation (thousands of rpm).
￭ Low friction design, reduce wear and prolong service life.
Core Functions of Flying Car Slip Rings
1. Rotor/motor power transmission
￭ Guarantee the power supply of multi-rotor propulsion system, avoid cable entanglement problem and improve the stability of power system.
￭ High current carrying capacity to support high power motor operation.
2. Transmission of flight control system data
￭ Transmit attitude sensor, inertial navigation (IMU), flight control unit (FCU) and other data to ensure stable flight.
￭ Support CAN bus, RS485, Ethernet and other communication protocols to ensure real-time transmission of flight data.
3. High-definition video and radar signal transmission
￭ Applicable to camera system, LIDAR, millimeter-wave radar of flying car, providing 360°environmental sensing capability.
￭ Supports high-definition video (HDMI/SDI), fiber optic signals for remote control or flight monitoring system.
4. Passenger Cockpit Control
￭ Transmits seat control, display, and entertainment system signals to enhance user experience.
￭ Applicable to HMI interactive system for intelligent cockpit, ensuring seamless information connection.
