Works
In 2020, the European New Green Deal set the ambitious goal to achieve climate neutrality in all sectors of its economy, including air transport, by 2050.
MATISSE is a 36-month research project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme.
Electrification is the only way to reduce at the same time CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
MATISSE explores smart multifunctional electrical energy storage for hybrid electric aircraft applications. The EU project aims to demonstrate the smart structural battery technology with a multifunctional structure demonstrator capable of power delivery, power management and safety monitoring, to be installed on Pipistrel Velis Electro.

Activities
Objective 1
Advance Li-ion battery cell technology, in a non-conventional formulation suitable for bearing structural loads.
Objective 2
Make the structural battery smart, by equipping it with on-cell and in-structure sensors, connected to a chip-based CMU and PLC.
Objective 3
Enable the functional integration of Li-ion cells into solid laminate and sandwich composite structures.
Objective 4
Deliver a multifunctional structure demonstrator capable of power delivery, power management and safety monitoring.
