Strengthened competence, risk management and technical-economic conditions for the transition towards battery-electric flights and sustainable electrification at national airports (TAKEOFF)
The TAKEOFF project includes research questions related to innovation, skills supply, technical and business aspects, as well as risks and preparedness for fire, EMC and EMI. The goal is increased interdisciplinary knowledge as aviation changes.

The transition to fossil-free aviation means development and competence in electric flights and charging infrastructure at airports.
The TAKEOFF project aims at knowledge-building, innovation and development of sustainable battery-electric flights, charging infrastructure and resilient electrification at airports, as well as meeting the need for competence supply in the electrification of aviation.
The benefit of the project is to contribute to an increase in skills and knowledge to enable a fossil-free national flight through the electrification of the aviation industry, and to strengthen the benefit of interdisciplinary research and development that is ongoing at companies, society and academia.
External partners
TAKEOFF is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Uppsala University, Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå City Airport, Science City Skellefteå, AirForestry, Transportföretagen Flyg, with support from the Resilient Competence Center.
