Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions

Inductive Ventures (IV) has successfully demonstrated a new electromagnetic based system built on low cost of ownership, high-torque to low-weight performance, high reliability, and higher level of safety control of braking forces would better serve the aerospace industry and offer significant advantages over carbon brakes, including: 1. Recapture some of the available kinetic energy during the landing event to increase the overall efficiency of the aircraft. 2. Transfer this available kinetic energy from the landing wheels through a motor generator to an energy storage device on board the aircraft. 3. Use this stored energy during ground taxiing operations as a means to eliminate taxi fuel burn while the aircraft is on the ground. 4. Reduce the number of hours spent on maintenance of the conventional braking system. 5. Reduce the time on engines and engine thrust cycling due to taxiing and waiting in queue.
