Description
The aerospace industry is exploring rising idea of recapturing energy, which would otherwise go lost or wasted during flight. Team Wing-It is designing and building a 4-switch buck-boost bidirectional DC to DC power converter to both deploy power to the aircraft systems, and could also be used in recapturing energy from the control surfaces on aircraft. It will handle diverse input of 20V-35.5V at 25A and execute a constant current and voltage depending on the state of the controller.
