MODABAT - Modular, scalable and technology-Open Design for future Aviation BATteries is a project funded by the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. The project aims to develop an airworthy battery system for an ultra-efficient regional aircraft with a hybrid-electric propulsion system, targeted for entry into service by 2035. 
Given the rapid evolution of various battery technologies (e.g., Lithium-Ion, Solid-State), it is currently uncertain which technology will be suitable for aircraft integration. Therefore, a modular, scalable, and technology-open battery system design approach is proposed to align with the ambitious timeline and evolving technological landscape of the aviation sector. 
At AERO2026 the project will be running for 6 months, which will give us the opportunity to present the first results and to give an outlook on what to expect at the end of this project.
